How to plant a succulent garden

Succulent garden



Succulent gardens, fat leaves, and plants with unusual shapes add interest to ordinary landscapes. You may think that succulent plants are difficult to plant and maintain because they look so attractive. In fact, succulents are some of the easiest plants to grow. They thrive in conditions where other plants are neglected. The key to a successful succulent garden is the right kind of soil and light. Once you have mastered those basic needs, just occasional watering is enough to help your plants thrive.


1. Choose a place where your garden gets full sun and partial shade. If you have cactus in your garden, make sure the place gets bright sun for at least a part of the day.


2. Prepare the soil in the outdoor garden, remove grass and weeds and break up with a shovel. If you change the soil in your garden, remove it now.


3. Faster draining by combining equal parts sharp builder sand, creating succulent soil; A large, coarse material such as gravel or pumice, mixed with existing garden soil or pot. Pour the ingredients into your garden and mix with a spade. Smooth the surface, but do not tap the bottom.


4. Plan your succulent areas. If you want an immediately packed garden, place them close by. If you want to allow the plants to grow and spread, place them several inches apart. Keep in mind that it can take months to a few years to completely fill the garden with plants, but this option saves money on plants.



5. Wait a whole week before watering your garden for roots to harden and recover from transplant damage. Water until the soil is completely wet, usually over five minutes, depending on the size of the garden.

6. Water once or twice a month in spring and summer and once every month in autumn and winter. Before watering, make sure the soil is mostly dry. Avoid excessive watering to prevent root rot.

7. Fertilize once in spring and once in mid-summer. Use semi-strong, phosphorus-rich houseplant fertilizer.

8. Weed regularly to prevent unwanted plants from stealing your succulent water, nutrients, and ground space.
