[succulents]

These empty planters in our balcony would soon be filled with succulents, a plant variety that I'm loving now.




Succulent plants, also known as succulents or fat plants, are water-retaining plants adapted to arid climates or soil conditions. Succulent plants store water in their leaves, stems & also in roots.


For the brown-thumb me, succulents would be perfect for the house since it is low-maintenance. Just make sure that you put them in south-oriented locations, not under direct light & when you water them, the potting mix should be allowed to dry between waterings. But definitely, do not underwater. 

Some succulent arrangements I want to recreate :

And if you're adventuresome, aside from planters, you can also place them in unusual vessels such as these:

Are you also into succulents? Please share other plant care tips.
