Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your cactus and succulent collection is straightforward, largely revolving around proper light and watering. These plants are known for their resilience, but understanding their specific needs will help them thrive. The key to success with these succulent live plants is to avoid overwatering, as they are adapted to arid conditions.

For sunlight, cacti and succulents absolutely love bright light. Place them in a location where they can receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day, such as a south-facing windowsill, a bright office desk, or a sunny porch. If growing indoors, consider supplementing with a grow light if natural light is insufficient. Insufficient light can lead to etiolation, where the plants stretch out and become leggy. When it comes to watering, the general rule is to water thoroughly and then allow the soil to dry out completely before watering again. This can mean watering every 2-4 weeks, depending on humidity, light, and temperature. You can check the soil moisture by sticking your finger about an inch deep into the soil. If it feels dry, it’s time to water. If it’s still moist, wait a few more days. Overwatering is the most common mistake and can lead to root rot. Well-draining soil is crucial; a specialized cactus and succulent mix or a blend of potting soil with perlite or coarse sand will provide the necessary drainage.

These plants prefer warmer temperatures, typically between 65-80°F (18-27°C), but can tolerate slightly cooler night temperatures. Most succulents are not frost-tolerant, so if you’re in a colder climate, bring them indoors before the first frost. Fertilize sparingly, perhaps once or twice during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer formulated for succulents. Repotting is generally needed only when the plant outgrows its current container, typically every 1-2 years. When repotting, use fresh, well-draining soil. This cactus and succulent collection is designed to be low-stress, making them perfect for those new to plant care.
