5 tips to care for succulents
Hello !! How are you? I'm Loli, the confessed serial killer of plants. I do not have "angel" or "green finger" with them. I love them, I love them but I can not get them to survive my love and care haha. So, who better than Mariana de Alalma to give us 5 tips to take care of our succulents!

Succulents basically need sun and little water.
They are sun lovers, but no matter how much they hold water, they must be watered periodically. In winter every two weeks and in summer only once a week. Only water them when the substrate is dry. Do not flood them.
Pots and substrate :
Must have good drainage. Do not put dishes that hold water under the pots. The best terracotta pots are. Substrate loose and aerated, with a mixture of coarse sand (not the one used in construction) earth and pearlite.
Sun :
In summer, morning sun and in the afternoon half shade so they do not burn their leaves. In winter in the sun as much as possible.
Install your succulent pots next to the window more luminous of the house and if the direct sun gives them some hours of the day much better. I chose green species because they need less sun than species of other colors. And the greener they are, the better they will be able to live with less sunlight.
Transplant :
The transplant should be done every 1, 2 or 3 years for the plant to continue its growth and Do not feel too tight in your container. After that, do not water the plant for 1 or 2 weeks to allow the damaged roots to heal.
Did you also do everything wrong? jajajaja What a genius Marian for sharing her knowledge! Until next Monday!
PD: In this post you can see the incredible centerpiece that Mariana prepared for the post of the spring table the year past.
