Everyone loves to buy bulk succulents flowers. It’s a great way to get more of something without paying a lot per item. Buying in large quantities might also help you save money. The key is to know how to grow and store your succulents so that you have them year-round. Succulents are cacti, but they don’t taste like cacti. They taste like … succulents! They also have characteristics that make them great for growing and storing plants for the long term. If you want to add some beautiful fresh blooms to your home or plan a special event, consider growing succulent flowers. You can do it independently or work with an expert vendor when planning a wedding or other special occasion. Here are a few tips on how to grow and store bulk succulent flowers:

Decide What Kind of Succulents You Want to Grow and Buy

Decide what kind of succulents you want to grow and buy in bulk. You can choose from various cacti, including tropicals, stone crocks, and indoor varieties. You can also grow ballads, semi-arbores, and other evergreen cacti. When growing ballads, purchase cacti with broad, rounded, strong leaves. Semi-arbores and other evergreen types will provide year-round color and fully mature in about five years. For detailed information on specific kinds of succulents and the varieties that grow best in your location, see the section below entitled Growing Tissue-Ripe Succulents.

Grow in Containers

Containers are a great option if you’re not willing to grow your succulents in the ground. They can easily be set up as a greenhouse or office. You can purchase plastic or glass containers that will provide you with years of beautiful, lush growth. If you’re growing indoor plants, containers are also a great way to keep the plant happy and healthy. Ensure you thoroughly clean the container because some dirt can get caught in the drainage holes. When planting succulents in containers, ensure the sand is sifted to remove any excess sand from the planting hole. If you’re growing pot plants, be sure to clean the pots too thoroughly. This is because dirt can get stuck in the drainage holes, and some dirt can end up in the water supply.

Consider Humidity and Wind Shifting

Humidity and wind can affect the growth and quality of your plants. If the climate is too dry, your plants will struggle. If the climate is too humid, your plants will not receive enough water. Make sure you know what the best growing conditions for your plants are so that you can grow the best possible variety. These conditions will vary depending on your location, the weather, and other factors such as sand and water flow. You can learn more about growing succulents in different environments and climatic regions in the section below entitled Growing Tissue-Ripe Succulents.

Get to know your soil:

When you’re deciding what kinds of succulents to grow and buy in bulk, make sure you get to know your soil. What types of soil do you have? Are there certain soils you avoid? If so, why? Soil is the foundation of your succulent garden. It’s what keeps the plants from getting root bound, transfers nutrients from the plant to the soil, and retains heat and water. Every plant relies on healthy, moist soil to survive. If you know how your soil works, you can create a thriving succulent garden. Start by adding a little sand or perlite to a large plastic bag. Get to know how much is needed for your particular type of soil. Add a little more sand if you’re growing cacti or other hardy plants. If growing tropicals or semi-tropicals, add a little more organic matter. Once you’ve got a feel for your soil, you can play around with Amendments or changes to your soil to create interesting and unique gardens.
