Hey there! I’m Janie Low…

Welcome to my succulent blog!

I still remember the day I received my first succulent as a Mother’s Day gift from the church. It was a vibrant green plant, and little did I know that it would be the start of an incredible journey into the world of succulent care. This was my very first plant, and it ignited a passion within me that I never knew existed.

As I started to care for my first succulent, I quickly realized that I had a knack for it. I delved into learning everything I could about succulent care. From watering techniques to finding the perfect balance of light exposure, I voraciously read up on the subject. Of course, along the way, I made my fair share of mistakes. From overwatering to using the wrong soil, I learned valuable lessons from each misstep.

One particular moment that truly captivated me was when I adjusted the light exposure for my first succulent. Its color transformed from a lush green to a mesmerizing pinkish-purple hue. It was an enchanting sight that fueled my fascination even further. From that point on, I couldn’t resist the allure of more colorful succulent varieties, and my collection grew exponentially.

I also experimented with propagating succulents, and while I encountered both failures and successes, each attempt taught me something new. I faced challenges along the way, such as dealing with mealybugs, spider mites, and even fungal infections. However, these obstacles only fueled my determination to find effective solutions and keep my succulents thriving.

Throughout my journey, I have also encountered common issues in succulent care. Dealing with root rot, sunburn, and the perils of overwatering have been valuable lessons that have shaped my expertise in succulent care. Each experience has taught me to be more attentive and in tune with the needs of these unique plants.

Inspired by my own growth as a succulent enthusiast, I decided to start this blog. I wanted to create a space where I could share my experiences, knowledge, and the challenges I’ve faced while nurturing succulents. My aim is to provide guidance to fellow succulent enthusiasts, whether they are beginners or seasoned gardeners.

Join me on this exciting journey as we explore the world of succulents together. Together, we will learn, grow, and create beautiful succulent gardens filled with vibrant colors and endless joy.
