About Succulents 101

Your Guide to All Things Succulents

Welcome! I’m Ana – succulent enthusiast, lifelong plant lover, and the creator behind Succulents 101. What started as a personal journey into the charming world of succulents has grown into a space where I share my love and knowledge of these fascinating plants with you.

I garden in Zone 5b, which means I understand the challenges of growing succulents in colder climates and how to make it work. Before moving here, I lived in California (Zone 9b), where succulents practically grow themselves. My experience in both warm and cold regions has taught me how to adapt care strategies, choose the right varieties, and get creative with indoor growing and overwintering.

Whether you’re new to succulents or a seasoned collector, my mission is to help you grow with confidence, creativity, and joy.
