It's Getting Nippy

Words by Jessica Peace

Time to round up your cactus and succulents, after a summer of knocking back piña coladas on doorsteps and window ledges and get’em inside.

HOW NOT TO KILL THEM

When Fievel went west the desert was dry, so don’t sit them in the bathroom with the
moth orchid. And now that you might actually remember to water them, DON’T – at
least not often. Throw that dead cup of tea down the sink, not in your pot.

(Check for slugs and other little monsters before you bring’em in.)

For more deets on how NOT to kill your cacti and succulents have a flick through
Nik’s book.
