Succulents

We love succulents, they are perfect houseplants! They are so incredibly diverse from colourful and architectural to wonderfully weird. Generally speaking they are easy to grow just needing a good amount of sunlight and most conveniently, not very much water. Most come from dry, arid or desert habitats and store water in their fleshy leaves. They are a great way of getting children interested in growing things too, they find them utterly fascinating.

We will be potting up a range of succulents in the near future, so our rather limited range will expand considerably.We only show you the plants we hope to have for sale in 2024, if not available now they will progressively become so through the spring.
