Greening Up Indoors: Succulents!

At Sunnyside Gardens, we take all kinds of gardening seriously. It’s no surprise that our first arrivals of any season are some of our favorites—succulents! If it’s still too cold to dig outdoors, we can still bring the green inside, right?

When the sun climbs higher and daylight hours growing longer, it’s the perfect time to nurture houseplants. Trendy desert plants like cacti and succulents thrive in a sunny windowsill. For best care, we recommend watering these hardy plants only on sunny days and only when the soil is completely dry.


Tips for Growing Healthy Succulents

To set your succulents up for success, you’ll need:

  1. A Container with Drainage
    Proper drainage prevents overwatering and ensures healthy roots.
  2. Sandy, Well-Drained Potting Mix
    Opt for a cactus-specific mix to mimic their natural environment.
  3. A Sunny Spot and Warm Temperatures
    Succulents thrive in bright light and temperatures above 55°F.
  4. Fertilizer Every 8-10 Weeks
    Skip fertilizing during winter when growth slows. We recommend Scotts Liquid Cactus Fertilizer for the best results.
