Care Tips

Light: Provide bright light with gentle sun, acclimating slowly. Protect pale stem areas from scorching heat.

Water: Let the mix dry between waterings. Keep much drier during cool, inactive periods.

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.

Safety: Milky sap irritates skin and eyes and is harmful if swallowed. Wear gloves and eye protection when pruning or handling damaged stems.

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 be damaged by the cold weather.
• If you live in an area that is below 40°F, please add a shipping warmer to your order or consider purchasing plant until the weather is more suitable.
• Shipping Warmer: 72+ Hours Heat Packs available for $2.00 each
