Irrigation-free plants are a good option for decorating your home’s different rooms. You will love the fact that they have many advantages and will make your home look very beautiful.

How would you feel if we told you that they can live for up to twenty days without water? Great, isn’t it? Well, trust us, because it is so. They will also help you to have a green area in your home that is very easy to maintain.

Alderberry, aloe, kalanchoe, and Senecios are four of the most popular types of succulents in the garden. As they store water in their tissues, they can live without rain for long periods. You can grow them inside or outside the house. When indoors, water them every fortnight and outdoors once a week.

While they are hardy, it is best not to have them exposed to the sun all day long. Spread stones on the support to better conserve moisture and keep them in perfect condition.

One of the countries with the largest number of plant succulents is Mexico. It is perfect for covering rock gardens but also for hanging on balconies and terraces. We recommend that you do not expose it to continuous sunlight, rather allocate a space for it in the morning sun.

In summer, give it plenty of water, once a week is enough, but do not wet the leaves. If you give it a lot of water, it will eventually rot, and keep in mind that it needs coarse sand for better growth.

An advantage of Echeveria is that it multiplies very easily. Just take advantage of its easily detachable leaves and replant them in another pot.
