Trying to grow succulents at home? Follow these simple gardening tips to get your succulent garden off to a good start.

If you are new to gardening, keeping both indoor and outdoor plants alive must seem like a difficult task. But learning the skill isn’t that hard either. One eventually learns the tricks of the trade with practice and a little patience.
Beginners may choose succulents that can be maintained both outdoors or indoors according to their variety. Besides they are noted for being low maintenance and easy-to-grow nature.

Succulents are drought-resistant plants that store water and food in their leaves, stem, and roots, which in turn help them in surviving extreme weather conditions and environments.
According to Priya Agrawal, a gardening expert from Jaipur, Rajasthan, succulents can be propagated easily in different ways. “There are certain succulents that can be propagated using their leaves and there are others that can be propagated from stem cuttings. Besides, succulents can also be grafted to make a new succulent variety,” Priya tells ThFlowers of succulents
Even though they are easy to grow and maintain, certain things need to be kept in mind while nurturing them.
Here are some tips from her, to be noted while growing and taking care of your succulent buddies:
1. Identify healthy plants to grow

As beginners, it is important to understand how to identify a good quality or healthy succulent before buying it from succulents are usually bright or vibrant in colour, therefore, the first thing to do is to check whether the plant is looking dull. Also, succulents are known for their plump and full leaves, so touch and make sure that the plant leaves are firm and intact.
“It is almost like buying grapes, where we touch them to see if they are bright and tight to make sure that they are good. Likewise, touch the plant and make sure that they are healthy,” adds Priya.

2. Plant in a well-draining container
Once you buy the plant from the nursery, it is advised to repot them into a container as soon as possible, unless it comes with a proper pot with drainage holes and porous soil while repotting the succulents, it is essential to plant them in a pot or container with proper drainage holes for the excess water to leave. Otherwise, it might lead to the rotting of the roots.
Besides, these plants require porous and well-draining soil too.
3. Porous potting mix or soil
The porous soil helps in the fast drainage of water helping the succulent to thrive well. Therefore it is important to fix the right potting mix for these plants.
“You can blend some sand, gravel, coco peat, and manure to form a perfect mix for the succulents. The mix can be made using equal amounts of all of these ingredients,” suggests Priya.
4. Requires sunlight
Succulents that are kept outdoors.
Succulents need sunlight as much as any other plant. But though they are generally sun-loving plants, certain succulents can thrive indoors even without much light source. It is suggested to let those plants receive some direct sunlight once in a while.
