Love these hints, they make good sense out of otherwise a fear of loosing a plant. It almost kills me when I kill one. I have killed 3 fiddle leaf figs and still grieve. I will try again. I think I over watered.
Thanks, Sharon

Thanks for pointing out that proper cutting is the key in taking good care of succulents. I plan to hire a succulent arrangement service for my garden soon because I’d like to start taking care of plant that don’t need too much maintenance. Getting to have them laid out in a beautiful patterns would surely elevate the look of my garden.

Hi, Kelly thanks for put together a great resource but I think you miss 2 most important things which are somehow necessary to keep them thriving 1, choosing a container with proper drainage whole and follow the soak and dry method when water them.

My daughters have succulents. Unfortunately, one doesn’t seem to be doing as well. It is more “flat” with petal like stems. At times the leaves seen very delicate and almost transparent looking; although we water only once a week (as indicated by the tag). We keep it in bright rooms of the house but some of the stems have broken off… What are we doing wrong?? =(

I love succulents now, never did before. I have received starters from friends and they are doing great.
I have a variety of succulents now, each beautiful in their own way, I will never have too many.
