Growing time: Succulents are slow to moderately growing plants. Seeds may take 2-4 weeks to germinate under optimal conditions. Depending on the species, plants may take several months to develop their characteristic shape and reach a significant size.
Special Features: The Succulent Mix offers a diverse collection that includes a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. From compact rosettes to elongated leaves and trailing succulents, this mix is perfect for creating a diverse and dynamic garden, whether indoors or out. Succulents are known for their ability to store water in their fleshy leaves, making them extremely drought-resistant and easy to care for.
Lighting: They prefer full sun or partial shade. Succulents develop their most intense colors and compact shapes when they receive at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
Watering: Like all succulents, the plants in this mix require moderate watering. It is crucial to let the substrate dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot. During the winter, reduce watering to a minimum, as many succulents enter a dormant period.
Pests: Succulents are generally resistant to pests, although they can occasionally be affected by mealybugs or aphids. The use of environmentally friendly products, such as potassium soap, is recommended to keep pests under control.
Cold hardiness: Cold hardiness varies by species, but in general, many succulents do not tolerate severe frost. It is best to grow them indoors or in a greenhouse during the winter in regions where temperatures drop below 5°C.
Substrate: A well-drained substrate is recommended, ideally a cactus and succulent mix containing coarse sand or perlite. Good drainage is essential to prevent waterlogging and root rot.
Harvest: Succulent Mix is primarily grown for its ornamental value. Enjoy the diversity of shapes and colours in rock gardens, terrariums, decorative pots or as houseplants.
