Succulents in the Algarve

Caring for succulents is simple and rewarding! To ensure your plants thrive, follow these essential tips:

Watering: Water moderately, only when the soil is completely dry.

In summer, water about once a week and in winter, every two to three weeks.

Avoid overwatering as this can cause root rot.

Light: Succulents love direct sunlight.

Place them in well-lit places, such as near windows or balconies.

Some species tolerate partial shade, but most need at least a few hours of sun a day.

Soil: Use a specific substrate for succulents, which offers good drainage.

Avoid soils that retain a lot of water.

Pot: Use pots with drainage holes to allow water to drain easily.

Avoid very large pots, as excess soil can retain water.

By following these guidelines, your succulents will stay healthy and vibrant, adding a touch of natural beauty to your space.
