The success to a beautiful Succulent Garden.....

Light. Sun requirements are of utmost importance when it comes to the life of a succulent. Succulents live on sun! Make sure that you place your succulents in a medium to high light location. Unfortunately, artificial light generally will not provide the adequate light necessary to raise healthy succulents.
Watering. It is essential that succulents dry out well between watering. Remember that Succulents are native to hot, dry desert conditions, and need to be treated sin a similar manner in your home or office. Do not allow succulents to become over watered or to sit in water at any time.
Container/Soil. Succulents grow well in almost any container that is at least 4" deep and has drainage holes. For upright succulents, you will want to choose a pot that is about 1/2" larger than the base of your plant. Plant spreading or trailing succulents, you will want to choose a pot that is at least 1" larger than the base of your plant. We recommend using a commercial cactus and succulent potting soil, as succulents need a loose soil that drains freely. To help prevent rot and keep moisture away from the crown, you may want to spread a layer of small stone over the top of the soil.
Fertilizing. Succulents do not need a lot of nitrogen due to the fact that they grow slowly. Therefore feeing them monthly with a cactus and succulent fertilizer should be sufficient.
Temperature. Your succulent should be kept between 55 and 75 degrees to maximize its growth. Extreme temperatures ( too hot or too cold) can be detrimental to the health of your plant.
