Succulent Alley. . . .
I’ve put pretty much every succulent I own out for late spring (spring is dreary and cold in St. Louis until May) and summer. Although, I do have other succulents that aren’t pictured. (And I do own other plants!) They aren’t getting as much sun as they should be, bc MO has been getting clouds, buckets upon buckets of rain and tornados, so it’s not really an optimum growing sitch. I may bring a few of these guys in if we get the 100+ degree temps they’re predicting for later on. You know your weather is cray when some succulents can’t stand it! #lotsofprettyplants #most succulents #so many plants #ihavealotofplants #sunlightforplants
Caring for succulents can be challenging, especially when facing unpredictable weather conditions such as heavy rain and extreme heat. In places like St. Louis, where late spring and summer can bring both sun and storms, knowing how to provide the right care is crucial. Make sure to position your succulents in an area where they can receive adequate sunlight. Many succulents thrive in bright to direct sunlight, but during hot weather, it’s essential to monitor the intensity and duration to prevent sunburn. If temperatures soar above 100 degrees, consider moving some plants to partially shaded areas to reduce stress. To promote healthy growth, be mindful of watering practices. Succulents are drought-tolerant, but they still require consistent moisture without overwatering. During rainy seasons, check the soil moisture before adding more water. Utilizing well-draining pots can help maintain the perfect moisture balance. Don't forget about humidity levels, which can affect your plants' health. In humid conditions, adjust your watering frequency to avoid mold and rot. Lastly, ensure to inspect your plants for signs of pests and diseases regularly. Prompt action can prevent extensive damage and keep your garden thriving. By providing the right care tailored to your local climate, you can enjoy a flourishing arrangement of succulents that not only survive but thrive through the seasons.
I’m starting a succulent garden it came from a small plant my sister gave me three little different kinds of succulents and now it’s grown so much I have to split it up😎❤️
