You should ensure that the soil you use to transplant your succulents in a garden is well-draining, such as sandy soil or gravel. Preparing for the hot weather is important if you have many plants. To prepare for hot summer, make sure to keep an eye on the weather app or Tomorrow's site to see the current and future weather. You can water the plant until it drains out a bit. Keep an eye on it and continue with a weekly or biweekly watering regimen. If the soil drains naturally, French drains and other methods can be used to drain it.

While succulents can grow new roots, the soil could retain its old roots and cause it to rot. This is not the case. Although succulent "experts" may advise letting soil dry completely, it makes sense that if roots desiccate, growth ceases. Within a few weeks you should begin to see signs of growth. In winter, you should water your plants every two weeks. But where is the water? For an average pot, a bag of soil costs around six dollars. Organic soils are also available. Does the pot come out with soil attached to it when you insert a wooden chopstick into it?
