It is not always easy to grow any type of a plant without the necessary knowledge and skill and this is the reason why they mostly die off immaturely. This can be the same result when you attempt to plant succulents without having any knowledge on how to do it well. Below are some useful secrets on growing succulents that you should follow when you want to grow them in the right manner indoors.

These plants do well in dry air and therefore it is advisable to ensure they are exposed to this dry air indoors. If you are based in an area where the climate is usually humid, ensure that you leave the plants to go dry completely before you water them. Their spongy leaves will hold enough water for the plant to utilize as it is a characteristic they have to cope with the dry desert conditions.

Ensure that they will be exposed to sunshine often daily since they thrive well when they get lots of sunlight. You should make sure that you do not place them in rooms that are dimly-lit as they will start stretching out and bend in search of sunlight and you should therefore change their positions. Ensure that you place them in conditions that are almost like the conditions they are used to in dry areas.

In order to succeed in ensuring that your plants do not die off when placed indoors, experiment with various kinds of plants. These plants are not always the same as they can either thrive well indoors or not at all. You should start doing the experiments using succulents that have large green leaves as they will have higher chances of survival compared to the purple, blue or gray leaves.

You should also ensure that you give them some room to breathe while indoors. They are able to survive well in crowded compositions while outside but indoors they would not survive well. You should space them apart to ensure that each plant receives the maximum sunlight that reaches them.

When selecting the pots to plant them in ensure that you settle for the ones that come with a good hole at the bottom for drainage purposes. Make sure that you also choose the soils that have the best drainage to avoid instances where they become soggy at all. Consult wide in order to know the right soil to purchase and use for the planting purpose.

As far as watering these plants is concerned, you should only do it when the soil gets dry. This could be once in a week when the weather is very hot and this rate should be decreased slowly as the weather cools with time. You should also take great care when watering to ensure that you only water the soil and not the plant as it is possible to leave some water on the leaves which could cause rotting or ugly marks.

They are bothered by a low number of pests and diseases. Ensure that you apply an adequate insecticide immediately you notice any mealy bugs or aphids. Do not use moist leaf letter to mulch them as pebbles or stone are the best to use.
