Succulents

There are some cold region succulents that can withstand colder temperatures like Sempervivums and stonecrop sedums!

Succulents shouldn't be confused with plants that are “succulent-like” (examples, Snake plants, Hoyas) who do have fleshier, plump leaves. While they may appear to have the same characteristic which helps them become more drought tolerant the plant tissue is not the same as the ones Succulents produce.

• Light - Be sure to place your succulent terrarium in a South or West facing window which get the most sunlight. An east facing window can work but some etiolation may occur depending on the succulent. If not enough natural light can be provided, a grow light can work instead!
• Water - Can check the moisture of the soil with your finger or a moisture meter. Succulents will also display physical signs they are ready for water like wrinkling, leaves feel flaccid, and drooping.
• Soil - Any premade succulent/cacti mix can work great for succulents. Or you can buy a standard indoor potting mix and amend it with sand to provide the proper drainage!
• Temp - Average room temperature normally works.
• Fertilizer - Be sure to use a fertilizer that is specifically designed for succulents and cacti!
