Succulents thrive in bright light.
So place your succulent shell planter in a bright spot. Some succulents tolerate direct sunlight.
Succulents are drought-tolerant.
Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Avoid letting water sit in the rosettes of the plants, as this can lead to rot. Water the soil directly instead.
Use well-draining soil specifically formulated for succulents.
Good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot.You can create your own succulent soil mix by combining potting soil with perlite or coarse sand to improve drainage. Repot succulents when they outgrow their containers or when the soil becomes depleted of nutrients.
Feed your succulents with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer.
Diluted the fertilizer to half strength during their growing season (spring and summer).
Avoid fertilizing during the dormant season (fall and winter) when growth slows down.
Promote healthy growth.
Remove dead or wilted leaves. This not only promotes healthy growth but also helps prevent pests. Prune leggy or overgrown succulents to encourage a more compact growth habit.
