Succulents!

Hi! Are you a sucker for succulents like me? If so keep reading because I’ll be talking about some of my favorite succulents. Succulents are a good houseplant to have if you do not want a plant with constant care. They are some of the easiest houseplants to care for!

First, I would like to put the spotlight on lithops. They are also called living stones. I find these one of the most interesting succulents to look at. They are small split succulents of varying colors including grey, yellow, brown, pink, cream, and orange. A fun fact about lithops is that most of the plant is under the soil. They are a great low maintenance plant that you can keep in the same pot for years due to their slow growth. Lithops prefer full sun and need watered very infrequently, sometimes only a few times a year.

Next, I would like to talk about a very popular succulent, the jade plant. Jade plants are succulents with shiny green leaves on woody stems. They often look like a small bush or tree. The plants are a symbol of luck! Jade plants like water when the top of their soil is dry. It is important to not let their soil dry out too much. If your jade plant receives too little water its will develop leaf spots to tell you. Like most succulents jade plants also like to be placed in full sun. 

The last succulent I would like to mention is the haworthia. The haworthia reminds me of a zebra because it has white stripes. They have pointy green leaves like aloe. Haworthias are typically very small growing to be about two inches tall and wide. They also like to be in direct sunlight. You should water your haworthia when the soil dries out. 

What is your favorite succulent? Have you ever watered a succulent too much or too little? Have you every propagated a succulent? They are one of my favorite plants to propagate!
