Succulents are low-maintenance houseplants loved for their sculptural shapes and ability to store water in their leaves. They thrive in bright, indirect light, ideally near a sunny window, and should be planted in a well-draining cactus or succulent soil mix. Water only when the soil is completely dry—typically every 1–2 weeks—and reduce watering even more in winter when growth slows. Always use a pot with drainage holes to prevent soggy roots, which can lead to rot. Rotate your succulent regularly for even growth and watch for stretching, a sign it needs more light. A light feeding in spring or summer is plenty—these plants.
