Succ-U-Love

I've never had much of a green thumb. Mostly I'm a plant killer, but I figured out something I am a little good at, I think, most of the time: Succulents. As long as I don't look at them wrong, or think about them too much.

They can be a little picky. It is best to mostly ignore them and enjoy their natural beauty. Here are just a few of my favorites. Just a heads up, I have MANY! I have been finding it harder to find surface space in my home under the grow light...

Topsy Turvy -- sent to me in my Succulent Studios subscription box

 
Crasssula Hummel's Sunset - Succulent Studio Subscription


Thanksgiving Cactus (variety of the Christmas cactus) 


I mixed these beauties all myself. It includes Flapjacks (on the left), Jelly Bean Sedum (front right). Not sure of the other three's identifications... I thought I had them written down, I don't. :/

If you are looking to add a little something to your home, succulents are amazing. They do need more light then I thought they did and I can't put them in the window that I thought I could, but I am LOVING my collection.

What do you collect? What do you think of my collection? Any succulents you think I should look into?
