LET'S PLANT! 
EP 106 - Dormancy in succulents, and why they need it

Sometimes you will find that at certain times of year, your plants don't seem to be doing much. Then suddenly find that in other parts of the year they are growing like mad.

This is all part of their yearly growth cycle. There are times of year that they are in active growth, and times of year that they stay dormant.

When a plant is dormant, they show little to no metabolic activity, or at least just enough to keep them alive. It's as if they are in stasis.

In this episode I will walk you through the things you should know about succulent dormancy, and how to take advantage of it. We also get more tips from Alex, where he shares his experience with dormant succulents in the northern hemisphere.
