Why buy delivered plants?
Here’s 6 quick reasons from the top of our head.
Succulents are named because they have succulent leaves that are chunky, fleshy affairs full of stored water. This is because they originate from hot climates where water is in short supply. Succulents flower and exist in lots of different sizes, colours and textures.
Isn’t That A Cactus?
Well, sort of. Cacti are a sub-category of succulents. So all cacti are succulents, but not all succulents are cacti.
If you think of succulents as the ‘dog’ of the plant world it’s easier. There are many species of dog such as labrador, chihuahua or greyhound, and in the same way there are many species of succulent which includes sedum, aloe and cactus.
A cactus is identified by its areola - the cushiony mounds that the spikes grow from. Only cacti have these.
How to Look After a Succulent
These really are the easiest plant to look after bar none. Consistently forget to water? No problem. This is your dream garden. Succulents love chilling out in dry soil.
Here are a few tips:
Where Can I Keep A Succulent?
A warm window sill is perfect - in fact pot grown succulents thrive indoors.
Choose from a tiny compact rosette Echeveria Morning Beauty to the larger Desert Rose depending on your available space.
Succulents can grow in sunny gardens, a study desk, the kitchen windowsill, an office - in fact anywhere with a good supply of sunlight is just right. If you grow yours in the garden, it’s worth lifting them in winter and bringing them inside so they don’t rot and freeze.
Do Succulents Flower?
Some do, check the label to find out. Usually, they flower in their seasonal patterns, so a good long sleep in the winter months, with barely any water, followed by consistent spring and summertime watering will prompt growth and produce their jewel-like flowers. Still no flowers? Check the type of succulent you have, and if it’s supposed to bloom, up its daily dose of sunlight.
