SHADE GARDENING TIPS
Posted on Friday, April 24th, 2009 at 10:11 am
What is the best way to take care of my succulent garden outdoors?
i started a new succulent garden outdoors.
The soil is a bit rocky but down deeper is mixed with some sand.
One area where i planted gets some shade but then sun in the afternoon.
It does get a bit damp there at times MAYBE because of run off from the air conditioning unit.
The other area gets all sun.
I put river rock around the larger one.
I put a shell around the smaller one.
I had these on the west coast and i know they did not take much fiddling around with and they sorta just took off.
However i am on the EAst Coast now and i want to be sure they thrive.
It gets very HUMID here and up to 100 degrees in the summer.
Any help would be great on tips and tricks.
Thank you!
they should be okay. just never water because they get more than enough. yuccas shouldnt have a problem on the east coast because they donr mind some rain. agaves and cacti will need some help. the sandy soil will keep them well drained , but if it is expected to be rainny all week and cool, them put a plastic covering to keep the rain from saturating the soil. as for humidity as long as it is very warm it shouldnt be too bad
