Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your assorted succulent cuttings is straightforward, making them excellent choices for both beginners and experienced plant enthusiasts. Once your cuttings arrive, allow them a few days to callus (heal over the cut end) if they haven’t already. This prevents rot when planting. To plant, simply insert the callused end into a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix. Do not water immediately; wait a few days to a week after planting to encourage root development.

Sunlight requirements are crucial for succulents. They naturally thrive in sunny areas, so provide ample bright light for them to flourish. A south-facing window is often recommended for indoor succulents. If growing outdoors, ensure they receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Insufficient light can lead to etiolation, where the plant stretches and becomes leggy. Watering schedule should be infrequent but thorough. Succulents are drought-tolerant and do not like to sit in wet soil. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. When you do water, soak the soil until it drains from the bottom of the pot, then wait until it’s dry again before the next watering. Overwatering is the most common cause of succulent death. For soil type, a porous, well-draining mix is essential. You can create an adequate cactus mix by adding pumice, perlite, or grit to regular potting soil to enhance drainage. The ideal temperature range for most succulents is between 60-85°F (15-29°C). While many can tolerate cooler temperatures, avoid prolonged exposure below 40°F (4°C) as they can freeze. Most succulents are suitable for USDA zones 9-11 outdoors, or can be grown as houseplants in colder regions. Fertilization is generally not heavily required; a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer applied once or twice during the growing season (spring and summer) is sufficient. Watch out for common problems like mealybugs or aphids, which can be treated with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Proper airflow also helps prevent fungal issues. Understanding these basic needs will help your drought tolerant succulents thrive beautifully.
