Desert Escape Plant Maintenance?

Desert Escape cacti and succulent plants are easy-care, low-water, and super-trendy plants that can be easily grown in various locations. They require careful water management and lots of sunlight, preferring consistently warm temperatures and well-draining, sandy soil. These plants can thrive in direct sunlight without the need for fertilization or pruning.

To care for desert escape succulents, follow these tips:

1. Choose a sunny position with some light shade from midday to protect them from scorching. Plant the caudex (trunk) at or just above soil level, never “burying” the plant. Soil should be free-draining and gravelly, but a richer loam will be tolerated.

2. Understand your plant’s water requirements. The amount of water desert escape succulents require varies according to the plant’s size. For example, Desert Eve Yellow Yarrow needs 0.8 cups of water every 9 days when it doesn’t get direct sunlight and is potted in a 5.0″ pot.

3. Grow gorgeous, low-water Desert Escape cacti and succulents in container gardens, perfect for decks, patios, porches, and gardens. Protect outdoor plants from frost using cloths or burlap for insulation.

4. Discover different types of desert plants perfect for landscaping, including succulents, cacti, and drought-tolerant shrubs. Create a beautiful desert garden that thrives in a full sun environment, like a south-facing bright spot.

5. Water your desert escape succulents about once every 2 weeks with approximately 1/4 cup of water, ensuring excess water drains. Adjust as needed for your specific needs.
