Succulents: Plants for People Who Forget to Water

Succulents are perfect plants for busy people. They store water in their leaves and can survive weeks without watering. Tashkent's climate suits them especially well.

Top 5 Succulents for Beginners

Echeveria — a rosette of fleshy leaves resembling a stone rose. Dozens of shades: green, pink, purple. Compact, beautiful, low-maintenance.

Aloe vera — both beautiful and useful. Aloe juice is used for skin care and health. Grows fast, requires minimal care.

Haworthia — a miniature striped plant. Thrives even in shade. Perfect for an office desk.

Crassula (jade plant) — a symbol of prosperity. Thick round leaves, tree-like form. Grows for years, becoming a beautiful mini-tree.

Sansevieria (snake plant) — vertical striped leaves. Purifies air better than most plants. Tolerates shade, infrequent watering, and even forgetful owners.

Care Rules

Watering — once every 2-3 weeks. Winter — once a month. Better to forget than to overwater. Water the soil, not the rosette.

Light — the more the better. South-facing window is ideal. But acclimate to direct sun gradually.

Soil — loose, with sand or perlite. Regular potting soil won't work — it retains too much moisture.

Pot — must have drainage holes. Ceramic is better than plastic — it breathes.
