Nurturing your plant

Grow Succulent plants indoors in bright, sunny areas. Artificial light is welcome too, as these special plants are not fussy at all and make for perfect office desk accents.

Outdoor Succulents require a minimum of a half a day of full sunlight. The sunnier the area, the more radiant the colour of their plush leaves.

Minimum water is required as Succulents store water in their leaves, much as Cacti do. Water requirements may vary based on the species, size of the pot and the area temperature the plant is placed in.

Growing at a slow pace, Succulents don’t need pruning. Fertilizing your Succulent to increase growing speed is possible, but should preferably be done in summer or spring.

Keep your Succulent safe from animals and children as these plants are not easily digestible and could have side effects if consumed.
