Succulent Garden Hat

$6.00

As with many of my designs, Succulent Garden attempts to pay tribute to the plants for which it is named. With their vibrant colors and juicy leaves, succulents can be one of the most rewarding types of plants to grow. It’s often stated that succulents are easy to care for and thus the best plants for beginners, but in my experience they can be tricky. If you’re interested in taking a succulent into your home but don’t know where to start, here is my advice: choose a healthy jade or aloe that is not too small (baby plants have smaller root systems and can be quite finicky), and ensure the pot has a drainage hole. Find a sunny window, and plop your new friend right by the sill. Most succulents prefer some direct sunlight, so a south-facing window for Northern hemisphere folks or a north-facing window for Southern hemisphere folks is best. If your succulent is getting lots of direct sun, water it weekly–particularly if your pot is clay, as these tend to dry out the soil faster. If your succulent is getting little to no direct sun, water every two weeks. In the winter, add another week to the time between waterings.
