  • Keep succulents on the dry side, and give their roots superb drainage. Although succulents can usually handle more rainfall than they’d get in habitat, their roots may rot if the soil stays soggy. Very few succulents thrive outdoors where temperatures drop below freezing (32 degrees F) for extended periods. Cold-hardy varieties are primarily fine-leaved and perennial stonecrops (Sedum) and hens-and-chicks (Sempervivum)—genera that also don’t do well in temps above 80 degrees.When under-watered, succulents subsist on stored moisture. If the soil dries completely, roots may desiccate and growth cease. Some succulents are capable of regenerating roots when the rains return, but it’s best to keep soil about as moist as a wrung-out sponge
  • The rule of thumb is to water succulents thoroughly once a week in summer, twice a month in spring and fall, and monthly during their winter dormancy. Increase or diminish the amount per these common-sense considerations: the type and depth of soil, time of year, relative humidity, intensity and duration of sun exposure, ambient temperature, and the type of plant. Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer, diluted to half strength, once or twice in spring
  • In general, give succulents half a day of full sun, ideally morning, and the rest of the day bright or dappled shade. Keep in mind that the intensity and duration of sunlight varies according to latitude and elevation, throughout the seasons, and in different orientations and locations in your garden. Moreover, the same succulents that bask in full-day sun along the California coast
