Question

ForwardPlant Team · Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. While driftwood is beautiful and adds character, it's organic matter. For succulent pots, treating it to prevent mold and rot is crucial. This ensures the wood's longevity and, more importantly, protects your succulents from potential pathogens that thrive in decaying organic material. Proper ventilation and avoiding overwatering also contribute to prevention.
