Thank you for visiting our website and for your interest in Pure Succulents! This page will give you more information and inspiration about this environmentally friendly cultivated product.
The Greek word ‘Succus’ means sap. Succulents have developed special structures to store water so they can survive long dry periods of time. Evolution and geographical dispersion have made sure that each succulent adapts to its own environment. Succulents grow in most warm and dry areas of the world, where other plants would not be able to survive. For that reason succulents are considered to be some of the easiest plants to care for.
Pure Succulents makes use of environmentally-friendly cultivation and packaging materials as well.
Recycled cultivation pot
The plastic cultivation pot consists of 100% recycled material. In other words, the cultivation pot is made from waste products that have been re-used.
FSC

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international organisation that promotes the responsible management of the world’s forests.

Environmentally friendly grown
Sustainable business practices are becoming more and more important and this is expressed in the environmentally-friendly manner in which these succulents are cultivated:- Minimal use of weedkillers and fertilisers.
- 100% re-circulated water, so no draining to the outside. Water disinfected via a UV filter, so all water and fertilisers are re-used.
- Cultivators search for disease and pests weekly, so any starting attacks on the plants are noticed almost right away and can be combated on a small scale, therefore needing less weedkiller
- The plants are cultivated without the use of gas (zero gas) so there is no CO2 emission (zero CO2). All because the greenhouses are heated with residual heat.
