Succulent gardening is an excellent activity for seniors, especially seniors at assisted living Tyler communities, mainly because it is possible to be performed outdoors or indoors and it doesn't require much effort.
Succulent plants are resistant, thriving for long periods of time even in difficult conditions and, if they are properly cared for, they can be some of the most beautiful plants in the world, coming in a wonderful shape and color variety.
Not all seniors are in good health or shape to care for an outdoor garden, but indoor succulent gardens are extremely easy to grow at home. Here are the "ingredients" you need to get started:
- Several containers - choose containers of different sizes and shapes, depending on where you want to place them and the general effect you want to create.
- Buy your favorite succulent plants - succulents have a slow growth rate, they are miniatural (compared to other larger indoor plants) and drought tolerant. Do not worry too much about certain species; just choose what catches your eye in particular.
- Gravel - succulents do not tolerate having their roots in the water, so we advise you to use gravel to create a "drainage layer" at the bottom of the container.
- Soil - use a mix of good quality soil, preferably one with excellent drainage, specially designed for cacti and succulents.
