Not sure where to start? Here are our tips and tricks for keeping these desert plants thriving.
Succulent Care //
- Succulents prefer bright light. We recommend 4-6 of bright light or direct sun. We know this is hard in NE Ohio so we suggest placing them near a window in a room where you can read at 2PM without a light on.
- Too little light, the plant will start to stretch! The more sun a succulent receives, the more vibrant their colors will be.
- When watering, use room temperature water. DO NOT use ice cubes as succulents hate to be cold.
- Use well-draining soil in your planters. We recommend our Black Gold Potting Mix.
- Succulents should only be fertilized from June-August. We recommend Organic Cacti Fertilizer by Espoma or House Plant Fertilizer.
KEY TIP: Succulents like to be planted together! Plant them in whatever fun container you can dream up!
