Know the care to have the mother-of-thousands at home

  • Sun light

Direct sunlight is needed most of the day for this succulent to stay healthy. In very hot places, like in the Northeast, choose a place where the plant receives sunlight during part of the day, and which is also cool in the shade at another time.

  • succulent hydration

This is a succulent plant, so it is not ideal for it to be overwatered. However, it's important to water it whenever the earth is dry or when the substrate dries out.

  • Substrate

There is no need for the soil to be rich in nutrients, as this is an easy plant to grow. So, the better the drainage of the substrate, the better the growth of the roots of that plant.

  • Vase

It's such a powerful plant that you can even use unusual items, like any containers you want to reuse, to grow it. Therefore, for planting this succulent, you can use any pot.

  • Mother-of-thousands spread

Its spread is so easy that it can get out of control. Therefore, carefully remove dozens of seedlings that may fall around. Otherwise, your yard or garden could be full of new plants.

  • Fertilizing

Fertilization is important in many cases, but for this plant it may not be so necessary. However, foliar fertilization can bring more life to your plants, so it can be considered as a good option to be done sometimes.

Features and some curiosities

Also known as aranto, this succulent has thick, fleshy blue-green leaves that bend in a gutter-like fashion. Its leaves also come in shades of beige and gray and can grow up to 20 cm long and 8 cm wide.

The mother of thousands can still be consumed, mainly through tea made from dried leaves, from which its active substances are extracted. However, you can also find it in capsule form at health food stores.
