This is the first year I've had potted succulents outside and they're doing very well thanks to some easy care tips I've learned along the way.
Succulents don't require a lot of water. Once per week in the warmer summer months and even less when it gets cooler. Keep succulents out of direct intense sunlight. They prefer 6-8 hours of light, but their leaves may burn in the hot sun.
Succulents don't like their roots sitting in water for long periods of time. Use a well-draining potting soil or mix sand in a flower bed. For more tips on keeping your succulents healthy all summer long, visit Satori Design for Living:

This year I have twenty or thirty and may not have room on my porch for them. Help...
