Care Instruction

Watering

The most important rule for watering succulents is this: Only water when the soil in the succulents' growing container is bone dry. We repeat, let the soil dry out completely between waterings. If the soil isn't crumbly, dry dirt, don't water it.

Light

Succulents love sun exposure, and most varieties need at least 4-6 hours of daily indirect sunlight to thrive. However, there are several situations where you may need to keep succulents in the dark.

Potting Mix

For organic matter, we recommend pine bark, coconut coir, compost, or potting soil. Good mineral options include coarse sand, perlite, volcanic rock, fine gravel, and chicken grit. Avoid minerals that store water, like vermiculite and non-calcined clays.

Fertilizer

A light feeding of manure tea, diluted fish emulsion, or an all-purpose granulated fertilizer help succulents grow lush and lovely. Be sure to dilute concentrated liquid fertilizers half-and-half with water. Not doing so risks damaging roots.
