Succulents

Care Instructions

Sunlight: Place your succulent in bright, indirect sunlight. If you need to move them into an area of more or less light, do so gradually if possible. However, succulents can handle a few hours per day of direct sunlight.

Watch out for:

  • Sunburn - Brown or black spots on your succulent’s leaves mean it’s getting too much direct sun. Move it to a less sunny spot.

  • Stretching - Spaced out leaves on a stretching succulent stem mean the plant is seeking more light. Move it to a sunnier location.

Watering Full Size Succulents: Water your 5” succulent by removing the plastic grower pot from your outer clay pot. Pour in about one inch of water (roughly 1/3 cup), then place the grower pot back inside. The soil will soak up water from the bottom to help avoid over-watering. Allow succulents to dry completely between waterings.

Watering Mini Succulents: Water your mini succulent by removing the plastic grower pot from your outer clay pot. Pour in about 1/4 inch of water (roughly 1 Tablespoon), then place the grower pot back inside. The soil will soak up water from the bottom to help avoid over-watering. Allow succulents to dry completely between waterings.

Watch out for:

  • Over-watering - An over-watered succulent is susceptible to rotting roots. Make sure you let the soil dry between waterings and avoid pots that don’t drain or release moisture.

  • Under-watering - An under-watered succulent has curled, crispy leaves with crusty soil.

Temperature: Keep your succulent around room temperature, avoiding extreme heat and cold. An ideal temperature range is between 65℉-85℉. In the summer months, depending on your location, succulents can handle being placed outside, in indirect sunlight. Make sure overnight temperatures don’t dip below 65℉.

Grooming: Regularly remove any dead leaves from your plant to promote full and uniform growth. You can propagate new succulents by removing leaves and planting them.
