Succulent care is pretty straightforward. They’re desert plants, so they like it warm, dry, and sunny. They hold onto plenty of water in their leaves so they barely need watered and you can usually go weeks at a time between watering them. The most common succulent issue we see from our plant parents is overwatering, which makes the leaves and roots begin to rot and soften. RIP, little succulent buddies.
For this blog, we took four succulents and tested them under different conditions to give you an idea of how they might do in your home. To minimize the variables we used the same variety of succulent for each example: Echeveria Miranda.
What We Tested
Our Echeveria Miranda succulents were kept in the following conditions (seen left to right in the images below):
Dry, low light
Wet, low light
Dry, on a windowsill (brighter light)
Near a heating vent, medium light
