2021 Word for the Year : Focus

Succulents are such hardy little things. Some of them can survive in fairly poor soil, or even bare root, with little to no water for a considerable amount of time. Then, as soon as you put them into the ground or a pot and give them a good drink, they perk up and begin to […]
