Green Acres Garden Blog

The world of succulents is full of amazing and beautiful choices for waterwise gardens. Succulents are unique looking, easy to care for, and have few pests and diseases. Succulent varieties can range from taller to shorter, from flowery showstoppers to border accents, with all types of colors and textures. Succulents are ideal for our Mediterranean climate and we are happy to highlight some of our favorites. 

Succulents are popular for good reason—they're available in many different varieties, colors, and textures; they don’t require a lot of care; and they’re versatile enough to fit into a wide range of garden types and projects. 

 

And our nurseries have interesting succulents that do well even when the temperatures turn frosty. Plant them in pots or in the ground for year-around appeal.

Odds are, you do not have a terrarium at home. And why not? They are fun to create, easy to maintain, and these small, indoor gardens are the latest trend in office and home décor. What began as a way to observe bugs in the early 1800s, ultimately changed the way plants were transported around the world, and is now popular with plant enthusiasts who want to bring nature inside. 

Even if you don’t have a green thumb, you can create your own succulent pot-up. See our short video and five easy steps. Next time you’re in one of our nurseries, peruse the succulent tables, pick a few and make your own pot-up!
