Succulent Bowl

Can you mist succulents instead of watering?

Water the Soil Directly When you water your succulents, soak the soil until water runs out of the drainage holes. (If your container doesn't have drainage holes, use less water.) Don't use a spray bottle to water your succulents—misting can cause brittle roots and moldy leaves .

How long can succulents go without water and soil?

They can go up to 1-3 months of no watering. Indoor succulents will have less exposure to the elements outdoors - wind and sunlight outdoors tend to dry out the soil faster than it does indoors. In cooler climates, generally fall and winter, the soil stays moist for longer periods of time.

How long should a succulent sit in water?

Do you need to mist succulents?

Spraying or misting the succulent or cacti plant is actually not helping the plant in any way, the goal is to direct the water towards the roots or base of the plant. Generally we recommend once every 10-14 day watering cycle for succulents and once every 14-30 days for cacti.

Can succulents live inside without sunlight?

Sure, succulent plants can survive for a short time without direct sunlight, but how long will depend on the species. Most succulents will live without deterioration for 10-14 days if placed in a place with little or no light, while some shade-tolerant succulents may live longer.

Do succulents do better in clay or plastic pots?

In most cases, though, it really doesn't matter what kind of pot you plant your succulents in… as long as it has a drainage hole!

Do succulents like tight pots?

As a general rule, I recommend leaving about a half-inch of space between your succulents and the edge of the pot, so they'll have a little room to spread and grow. Too much space can actually prevent a succulent from growing much larger, because the roots spread out before the succulent has time to catch up.

Are succulents happier inside or outside?

Because of their special ability to retain water, succulents tend to thrive in warm, dry climates and don't mind a little neglect. This makes them well adapted to indoor growing and ideal for people desiring low-maintenance houseplants.
