5 Tips for Growing Succulents
Try to place or plant your succulents on a south facing window. This gives them excellent sun and warmth. If the leaves begin to discolor (they will turn brown or white) then it is time to pull back as the sun is too overpowering.
Succulents can grow in temperatures between 50 and 90 degrees. As long as they are slowly acclimated to the environment, they will thrive. Don’t worry too much about the temperature, as long as you acclimate your plants to it gradually.
During warmer months, succulents will need more water. While the soil should never be soaked or have freestanding water, it should stay damp. During the winter, the plant will slow down its growth and not require nearly as much water. You can cut back watering by as much as half.
Find a soil specially designed for cacti. Succulents will thrive in this as it is fast draining and helps support the root system. A soil such as this not only helps provide the proper drainage, but nutrients as well!
Fertilize as you would any other houseplant during the summer months. During the winter you can skip this step entirely as the plant basically “goes to sleep” and won’t be needing the nutrients.

When we think of adding a colorful accent to our indoor office plants we often think about cut flowers or a flowering potted plant. Actually there is another option. Tropical foliage plants that have beautiful colored leaves. If your office has the right conditions, bright light and warm temperature, there is an unlimited selection of plants that have colorful foliage and variegated leaves. Crotons, Cordyline, Rex begonias, Stromanthe are just a few that can brighten your office with some color. We use many of these on locations in the Boston metro area. Colored leafy botanicals have unlimited plant possibilities.
