Exposed to heat or full sun, some succulents plants naturally develop reddish tips. Indoor succulents are much more susceptible to getting brittle. Sempervivum arachnoideum 'Cobweb Hens and Chicks' are low-growing, clump-forming succulents with green rosettes covered in a white, hairy webbing. Aeonium arbutum 'Zwartkop’ has striking rosettes which look like flowers, and are made up mostly of waxy leaf. They produce star-shaped bright reddish, bright pink-reddish blooms. Crassula Pellucida 'Variegata' (Calico Kitten) produce small white flowers that can appear around springtime.

It is important to ensure your succulents are easy to drain if you plan on planting them in a garden. If you have a garden full of plants, it's about time to start prep for the hot weather so that your plants don't die on you. You can check the Tomorrow's Weather App or website to determine when to prepare for the hot season.

A slice of the austere beauty of the desert is certainly desirable, but succulent terraria (the plural of terrarium) aren't a sustainable solution. Terraria are naturally humid due to the greenhouse effect. Terraria are usually small. This means the soil will be more wet, increasing the likelihood of root rot. It means they have developed some level of drought resistance and love bright light. Finally, the lackluster light causes the dangling vinings to move towards the light giving the plant an untidy look.

Many succulent plant owners will tell yo that the best time for them how to keep succulents small be growing is in late summer. You can grow succulents in a variety of environments, including full sun and shade. The only thing that is necessary to prevent rot from overwatering is to keep the soil around the plant well-drained. Even though the plant has been exposed to full sunlight for a while, it can still suffer sunburns or damage from extreme heat or heatwaves.
