Care Tips
Light: Give strong light with gradual introduction to direct sun.
Water: Water after the mix dries during warm active growth. Keep much drier during a cool winter rest.
Soil: Use a gritty, fast-draining succulent mix in a pot with drainage holes.
Temperature: Protect from frost and freezing weather; bring containers under cover before cold conditions arrive.
Handling: Never touch the pads bare-handed. Use appropriate tools and protective clothing when repotting; keep away from children and pets.

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 40Ā°F, please consider purchasing plant until the weather is more suitable.
