Succulents enjoy a partly sunny spot, so they can get the best of both worlds. 'All they need to thrive is plenty of sunlight, occasional watering with a good quality fertiliser, and sandy soil to prevent roots from becoming waterlogged,' explains Kate from Baby Bio.
'Generally, there are only two main reasons you may struggle to keep succulents alive, and that is if you don’t place them somewhere they can enjoy six hours of sunlight a day, or if you are an overenthusiastic waterer and allow them to sit in damp compost.'
