SUNLIGHT

These plants have come from the desert. They may not be thirsty for water but they sure as hell need ample sunlight. Place it in well-lit corner of your house. If it doesn’t receive enough sunlight, it’ll start stretching itself in search of it.

WATER

Not surprisingly, these plants do not need much water. Let the soil around the plant dry out completely before adding more water. If watered too much, clogging can lead to rotting of the roots. Generally, a well-drained pot needs to be watered every 2-3 weeks.

TEMPERATURE

While we all know that desert plants are used to extremely high temperatures, burning them won’t really help anyone. Keep them in a conservative temperature range to really see them bloom. Avoid extremes on both ends of the thermometer scale, not too cold and not too hot.

TOXOCITY

Most succulents are non-toxic fortunately. Even the toxic ones are only mild irritants. But they do have thorns that can cause puncture wounds. So keep your pets and babies away from these plants for their own safety.
