How to care for your plants
Succulents are easy to love and even easier to keep. Here's everything you need to know.
Watering
Succulents need very little water — once a week is plenty. House plants prefer watering three times a week.
Light
Succulents love full sun or semi-sun. Find a bright spot where they get plenty of daylight.
Soil for succulents
Mix 100% compost, 100% building sand and 50% chicken manure for the ideal succulent growing medium.
Soil for house plants
Use 100% compost blended with 50% chicken manure for healthy, well-fed house plants.
Avoid
Overwatering and leaving any plant standing in water — root rot is the most common cause of loss.
Tip: when in doubt, wait a little longer before watering — succulents tolerate dryness far better than constantly wet soil.
