Succulents



Gardeners use the term "succulent" to describe any plant that evolved to withstand drought by storing water in its roots, stems, or leaves. The diverse group is made up of plant families from all the arid parts of the world. Growing a collection, or just one lone specimen is relatively easy.  In warm climates, succulents can be planted in the ground or outdoors in pots year-round. Indoors, the best place for them is a sunny window or a greenhouse, planted in a fast-draining potting mix. Keep watering and fertilizing to a minimum, letting the soil dry between waterings.
