8 Reasons Why You'll become a "Succa" for Succulents

There's no denying people are becoming succas for succulents left and right. Succulents have made a fresh and bold impression in a lot of our lives and their popularity continues to grow. Not only do these beautiful and artsy plants look fabulous on display, they offer a multitude of benefits, some of which you may not even be aware of.

Let me start by "pointing" out that succulents are one of the easiest plants to keep alive. Indoor succulents should be placed in a bright area, preferably near a window which gets access to sunlight. Forget to water? Don't sweat it, because succulents only need to be watered once a week. Super easy, right? Try forming a routine, so every Sunday you know it's watering day. With proper care, count on saying "aloe" to your little friend, day in and day out for the next six months to a year.

Succa yet? If not, I'm sure you will be shortly after finishing this post. "Aloe" my succulents very much and am positive you'll have a new appreciation for these prickly greens too. Here are my 8 reasons I'm a succa!
