We’ve all picked up a cute little succulent from the garden centre or grocery store, only to have it die a horrible death a few months later. How could this happen? Succulents are supposed to be easy!!
While succulents don’t require as much maintenance as other plants, they’re not fool-proof. Here’s what you need to know to keep yours alive and thriving over the winter months.
Disclaimer: I garden in zone 3b on the Canadian Prairies. While I make every effort to make my advice as applicable to as many people as possible, growing conditions in your area might be vastly different. However, I love to hear from readers in other areas, so let us know in the comments if there’s a different way to keep succulents alive where you live!
Kristen is a former farm kid turned urban gardener who owns the popular gardening website, Shifting Roots. She is obsessed with growing flowers and pushing the limits of what can be grown in her zone 3b garden. She also loves to grow tomatoes, but oddly enough, dislikes eating them raw.
