I just got a bunch of succulents!

I think you plant them in sandy soil and water them sparingly. And give them full sun.

full sun? bummer. I got them to go in my (new) home office but I am pretty much a vampire when I am home, low light only. I will have to get them in windowsills instead.

they said partial shade which in my head translated to, low light.

my secret wish is to have a green thumb like my nana but I just don't.

OK well if says partial shade that's fine. But definitely a sill that has sun.

They’re pretty resilient, OP. They should be fine on windowsills or someplace near a window.

Those things are almost indestructible. You can ignore them for months, then sprinkle some water - and they're back, baby.

why do all the photos have little stones in top of the soil? just to be pretty?

If I don't kill them, I want to put them in pretty things. maybe low Japanese bonsai pots. or teacups?

Congratulations, OP! Here's a song for you.

Translation:

Flowers in the garden, about twenty species Roses, tulips and narcissi The rich people buy for themselves these days I don't want to know this at all

My small green cactus stands outside on the balcony hollari, hollari, hollaro! What do need red roses for, why do I need red poppy hollari, hollari, hollaro! And when a villain speaks something nasty I get out my cactus and it stings, stings, stings My small green cactus stands outside on the balcony hollari, hollari, hollaro!

Most women ressemble each other in case Of the flowers they like But I say daily: That's not possible What should the people say about me then?

My small green cactus stands outside on the balcony hollari, hollari, hollaro! What do need red roses for, why do I need red poppy hollari, hollari, hollaro! And when a villain speaks something nasty I get out my cactus and it stings, stings, stings My small green cactus stands outside on the balcony hollari, hollari, hollaro!

Today, at four o'clock, there's a knock at the door Oh, a visitor so early today? It was Mr. Krause, the neighbour He says: "Sorry if ask you:

Don't you have this cactus outside on your balcony hollari, hollari, hollaro! It just fell down, what do you say about this? hollari, hollari, hollaro! It fell on my face, if you believe it or not Now I know that your small green cactus stings Please keep your cactus somewhere else hollari, hollari, hollaro!"

Your succulents may outlive us all.

Dats da succ job!

I actually ordered them r8 to remind myself of the resiliency living things can have even when times are shit.
