Planting Succulents In A Garden Bed?

To create a vibrant succulent garden bed, consider the layout and plan, but be flexible when planting. Succulents prefer well-drained, sandy soil and can even grow in rock gardens. Protect them from extreme temperatures, avoid giving them too much sun, and provide them with the right mix of soil and sand. Don’t backfill after planting, put them in pots, prune them, and keep them well-fed.

When building an indoor succulent garden, start with a large pot and place a layer of small pebbles at the bottom to help with water drainage. Prepare the soil up to a minimum of six inches and can take it to eight inches below the surface.

To prepare the soil, remove soil from the garden bed and create a bed of drainage. Backfill the planter bed, plant succulents in the garden bed, and improve the drainage by adding horticultural grit. Avoid planting too deeply as fleshy leaves can cause issues.
