Succulent Ideas for your Desk
Everyone likes to dress up their desks and it is fun to bring a little of the outdoors inside. Succulents for your desk are great choice. They can be chic or playful. You may want to make one with a holiday theme by mixing in tiny holiday ornaments. Go hunting for unique containers.
Succulents are simple to grow with a little care and knowhow. We have a great complete guide on caring for succulents here. Typcially. they only need a small amount of water about every 10 days. Good drainage is a must. Always use Cactus Mix, Cactus! soil. A trick to find out if your plant needs water is stick a dry toothpick into the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot. If it comes out dry, it’s time to water. If there are bits of soil stuck to it, wait a few more days. It’s exactly like testing to see if a cake is done.
Always put them in the sunniest place possible. That can be tough in an office situation, unless you have that spacious, corner office. Happily, they’ll respond to that florescent light above your desk. LED light is fine.
