hear ‘succulents are easy’ and feel as if they have something to prove, because they don’t want to be the one who killed the unkillable plant. And then they overcompensate. Succulents want to be left alone to enjoy the sunshine and meditate on their existence, but too many would-be plant stewards over socialize them. Over watered, over moved, over fussed with. All they want is alone time. Not that difficult at all, as long as you respect their need for solitude.”
