Succulent Plant Care
Succulents tend to grow best outside, but succulents are tough enough that they still survive and do fairly well inside. Most succulents are dormant during the winter. They need a period of cold to help them produce better blooms in the spring and summer.
LIGHT: When succulents are indoors it’s often hard for them to get enough sunlight, generally about 6 hours a day. You’ll want to keep your plants as close to the window as you can, but be careful not to let them get sunburned if the light from the window gets too hot. If your succulents aren’t getting enough light they will start to stretch. Don’t worry! After it gets too stretchy for your taste, just cut off the top and propagate it! The bonus is that you’ll also get more plants :)
WATER: If you are growing succulents indoors during the summer, just water as normal, waiting for the soil to dry out before you water again. During the winter though, succulents don’t need very much water at all. Since they are dormant, they aren’t growing and they don’t use up as much water. Water indoor succulents about every 2 weeks in the winter. Just keep an eye on the soil. You’ll want to let it dry out completely and then give it about a week before you water again. Here is a little secret, just like all plants, eventually the lower leaves of succulents are going to shrivel up and die. You should only be concerned about dying leaves if the newest or uppermost leaves on your succulent are shriveling. If it’s just the ones near the bottom of the stem (closest to the soil), you don’t have anything to worry about!
TEMPERATURE: If you grow your succulents indoors year round, they won’t notice much change in temperature unless they are right by the window. As a general rule, succulents like to be warm during the summer and cool during the winter. If you can, keep the temperature in the summer between 70 and 80 degrees. During the winter, you’ll want your succulents to be a little colder, between 50 and 60 degrees. Most succulents can tolerate higher and lower temperatures as well, but those are the ideals. Generally, it is not a good idea to let the succulents get below freezing as this tends to cause damage to most succulents.
