Read the caption for tips on growing succulents outdoors! 👇👇
.
Unless you live in the warmest parts of the country 🌡 you'll want to plant your outdoor succulents in pots 🪴 that can be moved inside once the temperature drops, or during heavy rains 🌧 For this reason, it's important to use pots with drainage holes. Terra cotta pots are ideal, as they naturally wick away moisture from the soil 💧
.
If you live in a perennially warm climate ☀️ consider planting some of your succulents in your garden bed.
.
When planting succulents in the ground, it's important to provide them with well-draining soil 💦 that will prevent root rot. Before planting, create a six-inch mound using a lightweight, succulent-specific soil mix. Then, plant your succulent in this mound 🌸
.
Although succulents don't attract many pests, those outdoors can become infested with the dreaded mealybug 🐞 Cut off the infested leaf to avoid losing the entire plant 🌱
.
While it's true that most succulents enjoy abundant sunshine some do best in partial sun or shade 🌤 Be sure the succulents in your planter have similar light requirements, and keep them in a portion of the yard that suits them best 🌼
