succulents. Although I tend to go gaga over smaller baby succulents, I have to admit this is one succulent that looks very impressive as an older and more established plant.Once the plant is quite established, you might consider moving it to an outside position in the warmer weather, where it won’t be blasted by the elements (namely frost, rain and strong sunshine). A sheltered spot where it will benefit from the morning sunshine should do nicely.
