Care Tips

Light: Provide sun to light shade, introducing stronger sun gradually.

Water: Allow the mix to dry between waterings, then drain thoroughly. Avoid continuously wet roots.

Soil: Use a gritty, fast-draining succulent mix.

Potting: Choose a pot with drainage holes and repot when the roots need more room.

Humidity: Provide good airflow and avoid persistently damp foliage.

Temperature: Protect from frost and cold, wet conditions.

Growth: Trim spreading stems as needed and dispose of cuttings responsibly; they can root readily.

Care Instructions

Please visit our Succulent Care info page for more details.

To ensure the health of succulents, it is important to plant them in porous, well-draining soil. Succulents require little watering, but don't like to sit in wet soil. To create an adequate cactus mix, simply add pumice, perlite, or grit to cactus soil to provide the proper drainage.

Allow the soil to dry to the level recommended in the Care Tips above before watering again. Always drain excess water.

Weather Conditions

• When ordering, be mindful that living succulents can freeze. If you live in an area that is below 40°F, please consider purchasing plant until the weather is more suitable.
• Shipping Warmer: 72+ Hours Heat Packs available at my store for $2.00 each
