Ah, the humble succulent.
Generally low maintenance and simple to propagate, it’s easy to see why the succulent has become a favourite of the ‘Renter Generation’.
However, they’re not quite as indestructible as everyone thinks. Root-rot, neglect and pests are all common enemies, leading to soggy aloes and withered cacti.
It can be embarrassing to kill one of the most unkillable plants on the planet, but fret no more: we’re here to help. This simple guide contains everything you need to keep your succulents healthy and happy, and to keep you out of thorny territory.
This is how to keep a succulent alive.
