Growing succulents in containers allow you to bring your own little piece of the desert into your home or garden. Succulents look natural in western decors and landscapes. This diverse group of plants includes stiff, upright cacti as well as sprawling and trailing plants that are well-suited to hanging baskets and window boxes. Most enjoy a similar environment but check the plant tag to see if your succulent has any special needs.


Containers and Soil

Succulents grow well in almost any container that is at least 4 inches deep and has holes in the bottom for drainage. Choose a pot about 1/2 inch larger than the base of the plant for upright succulents. Plant succulents with spreading or trailing growth habits, such as holiday cacti, in a pot 1 inch larger than their original pot. Succulents need a loose soil that drains freely. Use a commercial cactus and succulent potting soil, or mix your own from four parts regular potting soil, five parts perlite and one part coarse builder's sand. Spread a layer of small river rocks or aquarium gravel over the top of the soil to keep moisture away from the crown and prevent rot.

Placement

Most succulents like bright sunlight and are content to spend their days outdoors in the baking sun or indoors in a sunny, preferably south-facing window. They thrive in warm or even hot summer temperatures. When first taking a plant outdoors, expose it to bright sunlight gradually to prevent sun scorch. Provide shelter from drenching rains or bring the plants indoors during rainy weather.


Water and Fertilizer

You can water succulents planted in a soil that drains freely just as you would any other container plant. Saturate the soil completely and allow it to drain from the holes in the bottom of the pot. After the excess water drains, empty the saucer so that the plant isn't standing in water. Allow the pot to dry out completely between watering. Succulents don't need a lot of nitrogen because they grow very slowly. Feed them monthly with a cactus and succulent fertilizer. If you don't want to purchase a special fertilizer for your succulents, you can use a high-phosphorous, low-nitrogen houseplant fertilizer mixed at half strength.

Winter Rest Period

Most succulents need a rest period of at least two months in winter. Place the plant in a room with cooler temperatures. Many succulents need winter temperatures below 60 degrees Fahrenheit in order to set blooms but don't allow them to freeze. Reduce watering to just a drizzle around the sides of the pot or wet the top of the potting soil with a mister when the pot is dry. Withhold fertilizer during the resting phase.
