These succulents are suitable for outdoors - a selection of beautiful species
Succulent plants are a drought-tolerant plant that is represented in many families and genera. The variety of beautiful species that are at the same time so robust and hardy that they can be cultivated without hesitation outside is correspondingly broad. This selection introduces you to proven succulents for the garden.
These cacti offer frost and snow paroli
The following cacti are not only masters in the storage of water, but also have a stable winter hardiness for outdoors:
While among the popular prickly pear cactuses numerous species and varieties that you can plant outside, among the hedgehog cactuses and cactuses only the specimens mentioned are hardy. For example, the popular Gold Bullion Cactus (Echinocactus grusonii) can not cope with temperatures below 10 degrees Celsius.
House roots also feel good outside
The multi-faceted family of thick-leafed plants encloses the wonderful genus of house shrubs, which cause a sensation with their magnificent leaf rosettes and wonderful flowers outside in the garden. Their preference for fresh air and sunshine even goes so far that Sempervivum are suitable as indoor plants only conditionally.
Fetthennen likes life outside very much
Without Fetthennen so many a sunny, meager location in the garden would remain without floral jewelry. With more than 420 species, the genus Sedum provides suitable succulents for every design request. Premium varieties offer stature heights between 10 and 40 cm, delight with picturesque leaf rosettes in iridescent shades and enchant with magnificent flowers in the summer time. In winter, fat hens can survive up to - 23 degrees Celsius when protected from permanent wet.
Tips
Outside, caring for your succulents is even easier than for your succulent houseplants. Since Mother Nature takes over the water supply in the bed, the watering can is used only in the event of prolonged drought. The nutrient supply reduces to an organic fertilizer in May with foliage compost or horn shavings.
