Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your assorted succulent cutting set is straightforward, making it an enjoyable experience for gardeners of all levels. The key to successful succulent growth lies in understanding their native arid environments and replicating those conditions as closely as possible. Provide ample sunlight, use well-draining soil, and water sparingly to ensure your cuttings thrive.

Sunlight: Succulents naturally grow in sunny areas and require abundant light to flourish. A south-facing window is often recommended for indoor succulents, providing the 6+ hours of bright, direct sunlight they crave. If natural light is insufficient, consider supplementing with a grow light. For outdoor placement, ensure they receive full sun to partial shade, protecting them from intense afternoon sun in very hot climates to prevent scorching. Adequate light is crucial for maintaining their vibrant colors and compact growth habit.

Watering: Succulents are highly drought-tolerant succulents and prefer to undergo dry periods between waterings. The most common mistake in succulent care is overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Water thoroughly until water drains from the bottom of the pot, then allow the soil to dry out completely before watering again. This can mean watering every 2-4 weeks, depending on humidity, temperature, and pot size. Always check the soil moisture before watering.

Soil & Drainage: To ensure the health of your succulents, it is paramount to plant them in porous, well-draining soil. Standard potting soil retains too much moisture. Create an adequate cactus mix by adding pumice, perlite, or grit to regular potting soil (a 1:1 ratio is often effective) to provide the proper drainage. A pot with drainage holes is absolutely essential to prevent water from sitting at the roots.

Temperature & Hardiness: Most succulents prefer warm, dry conditions. While many can tolerate a wide range of temperatures, they are sensitive to freezing. If temperatures consistently drop below 40 degrees Fahrenheit, it’s advisable to bring outdoor succulents indoors or provide protection. They generally thrive in average room temperatures when grown indoors.

Fertilization: Succulents are not heavy feeders. Fertilize sparingly, if at all, during their active growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer specifically formulated for cacti and succulents. Avoid fertilizing during their dormant period in fall and winter.
