Dulles is a huge airport with nonstop service to almost all major US airports and many foreign places. It is also a long way out of DC, and it takes an hour or more and costs a minimum of about $15 dollars for the combined bus/Metrorail trip into town, much more for airport shuttles and even more money for taxis.
5. Select a stem to cut. Most succulents are not difficult to grow, but you can still increase your chances of a healthy plant with the right cutting. Ideally, select a stem that is actively growing, near the top or outer edge of the plant, and 4â6 inches (10â15 centimeters) long.. Strip leaves from the lower part of the stem. If you are using a stem cutting, remove the lowest cluster of leaves. Strip them with the same, sterilized knife, leaving the lowest 2â4 inches (5â10 cm) of the stem bare.
Plant your succulents in a shallow dish or saucer thatâs at least four inches deep, using a potting mix for cacti and succulents. Use different colors and shapes to make the arrangement interesting and fun. You can find succulents in shades of green and gray, and some have tints of red, purple, and blue.
