Water: They should be watered one to three times a week or if the soil seems dry. 

Soil: They need to be grown in well-drained succulent soil.

Potting: They don’t need to be repotted much but should be repotted every couple years or so depending on how fast it grows using a pot that’s larger. 

Temperature: Do not have them in temperatures under 20°F (-6.7°C). In the winter when it’s cold, you should move them indoors.

Care Instructions

Please visit our Succulent Care info page for more details.

To ensure the health of succulents, it is important to plant them in porous, well-draining soil. Succulents require little watering, but don't like to sit in wet soil. To create an adequate cactus mix, simply add pumice, perlite, or grit to cactus soil to provide the proper drainage.

Make sure to leave drought periods between waterings to prevent the plant from water-logging.
