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:

From My Front Porch To Yours on Jul 24, 2014
I have not attempted succulents yet. Thinking I might try now!

I have simply fallen in love with succulents. My question is: How do you tend to them in winter? This past winter, I just put them on my front porch and just let them fly by the seat of their pants. They began to show some stress but by that time, it was spring and I put them out in the yard. This year I have twenty or thirty and may not have room on my porch for them. Help...

  I have had some survive in pots in the garage, but it's tough to guarantee unless you bring them inside. I transplanted some of the ones from this pot into smaller pots and placed them on my kitchen window sill. They are still thriving.

  Also check out the succulents and cacti forum on houzz, lots of very knowledgeable growers/lovers with numerous cold weather suggestions and ideas. Blessings
