How to Grow Succulents So They Never Die: Getting These Two Things Right Is Key

Although most succulents do not bloom or have brightly colored flowers, they have always been deeply loved by plant enthusiasts for their unique charm. But many people are troubled: succulents are not easy to grow, and they either rot black or turn to mush. It really makes you feel heartache and exhaustion.

Actually, in the little gardener's view, succulents are easier to grow than other flowers and green plants, and they are especially suitable for lazy people to grow. Some plant enthusiasts may be unhappy and think the little gardener is talking nonsense.

The little gardener truly is not lying: succulents are almost entirely "water" inside, so their demand for water is not high. Grown by lazy people, they are fine even without watering for several days, so this is one of the reasons they are easy to grow.

In addition, succulents are simple to propagate. Whether by cuttings, beheading, or leaf propagation, they can survive. Given a little time, it would not even be an exaggeration to describe them as rooting wherever they land. So even if a beginner grows one to death, at least it will not die instantly, right? After signs of dying appear, you can choose to behead it, or pick off the leaves for leaf propagation, and life can still continue. This is also one of the reasons the little gardener says succulents are easy to grow.

Furthermore, in succulent care, the most common setbacks are nothing more than black rot, turning to mush, and scale insects. For scale insects, there are special medicines sold at flower markets, and since they cure the disease, there is no need to say more. As for black rot and turning to mush, they are related to temperature, humidity, and ventilation. As long as you water less in daily care and do not pour water onto the succulent plant itself, provide proper ventilation, and avoid direct sun exposure in summer while paying attention to shading, that is enough. Keep these points in mind, and your succulents will surely grow beautifully.
