Succulent Care

Succulents require well-draining soil, such as cactus mix. Allow your new plants to recover from shipping and adjust to their new home by providing bright, indirect light. Gradually transition into morning or dappled light, and into full sun within a space of weeks to months, depending on your climate.

Water fully, but allow the soil to dry completely between waterings. You can check for moisture by digging an inch into the soil with your finger. Lean toward under-watering, as succulents spring back readily from drought, but will rarely recover from rot.

For plant cuttings, you can check if the roots have formed by pulling the plant gently upwards. If you feel resistance, it is a sign that there are roots. Roots form in 4-6 weeks.
