Succulents Secrets

Succulents are forgiving and their maintenance is minimal so just follow the steps below and your living frame will love you for it!

1. Water succulents approximately once every 2 weeks dependent on conditions. Don’t be scared to water them…the idea is just not to overwater them, this they won’t like!
2. Take the frame down and lay on a flat surface the moisten the soil using a small watering can. Ensure the water has soaked in before you hang the picture again (approx 30 minutes).
3. Succulents love to be in a sunny, sheltered position, however they don’t want blazing sun all day as this will scorch them. They can withstand low temperatures, but they won’t fair well with too much wind or rain so protect them over winter.
4. Love your succulents and they will love you back!
