Succulent Plants for Indoors Tips
Succulents thrive in dry air and warm temperatures. They have water-storing tissues that allow them to store up water and thrive dry areas including the inside of a home.
The plants need minimum attention. You need to water when the soil becomes dry. There are many different varieties of succulents for indoors at your local nurseries.
Not all succulents can live indoors. You should stay clear of the red, purple, and orange colors. These succulents do best outdoors. Look for succulents that are green in color.
Let’s plant some succulents!
Supplies
Indoor Planting
These are great containers to use at 4″ in diameter. The containers are perfect for succulents.
Start by putting Miracle Grow Potting Soil in each of the planters.
You will fill the planter and pack the soil around the inside sides. In the center area, try leaving a hole for the plant. You can see it in the photo below.
It is good to break up the roots around the plant. Carefully, add the potting soil around the plant. Succulents are a little fragile and you can easily break the stems or leaves. Be sure to handle them a little care to keep your plant in tack.
Watering
When repotting plants, it is important to add plant food into the water. It will help give the plant extra nutrients and help it thrive.
Never over water succulents! They do not require to be watered every week. They do like their roots to be soaked. You need to let the soil dry out between watering. If not, the plant will rot.
Do not water succulents every week. Try watering the succulents every other week or if the soil is very dry to the touch.
You may find that your succulents require more water during the spring and summer months. During the winter months, the plants become more dormant, and growth does not occur.
Best Place For Indoor Succulent Plants
Now it’s time to place your succulents in a good place. Succulent plants love sunlight. The best place for them is in a place with plenty of sunlight.
I have these planters in my kitchen window. How beautiful would one of these planters look on a nightstand or a side table. It would be perfect on a coffee table on top of some stacked books.
Some of my personal favorite Succulents Plants for Indoors:

- Hens and Chicks – Another great one that you can start new plants from.
- Aloe – Another great one to have on hand. You can break a stem to treat a burn.
- Christmas Cactus
- Zebra Haworthia – I have several of these and love them.
- Burro’s Tail – Perfect for a hanging planter.
- String of Pearl – Another great one for a hanging planter.
Succulent plants are the perfect option for anyone looking to add a touch of beauty and life to their indoor space. With their diverse looks, minimal care needs, and air-purifying properties, succulents are a winning combination for busy lifestyles or novice plant parents.
