It all started with Mary Pat (MP for short -- although she is not).
She had lots of pots and plants. She especially liked pots with character-- you know the kind we mean-- from Auntie's house, from neighbors backyards-- the kind with moss and imperfections and lovely personalities. Well, she ran out of these pots, so she started making her own. And she knew just what her succulents wanted, too. She made them shallow and porous, with lots of drainage. And then she started making more stuff, too. Like mugs. And notecards. And lots more--all with her signature Lanikai style.

care of
The beauty of succulents is they store water in their leaves-so they can have a drink whenever they want.That is why you don't need to water them that much. Depending on where you live, just 1 time a week is plenty. Make sure to water less in winter, when the plants are actually dormant. Too much water can cause them to rot--so during on-going heavy rains, protect them from the rain. A house eave would do nicely.
Unlike their cousin the cactus, succulents like filtered light, they can burn if left exposed to Hawaii's strong, direct sunlight all day. Partial direct sun here in Hawaii is best.
