I have a wee crush on succulents. They are such beautiful things, I love the different shapes and coulours. But most of all I love the fact that I cant kill them! They are resilient little buggers.
Given their various forms, I love mixing varieties together. I feel like I'm creating my own little mini world. Imagine we only had succulents growing instead of regular plants. Oh what a world it would be!
I have found them in various places all over town, growing on the side of the road. I pick em :)
It's not vandalism if you re-pot them right?
Just a few tips for potting succulent cuttings.
1. Leave the cuttings sitting out for a few days. This is so the ends dry up a little bit so they don't suck in too much water. Succulents thrive in a fairly dry environment.
2. Use a mix of soil and sand. This allows drainage since succulents should not be in very damp soil.
3. Let the potting mix dry completely before watering again.
Mom found this idea on Pinterest - apparently, you can grow tulip bulbs in long glasses and she won't stop talking about it. Sadly, we missed the window to plant so she must wait!
