SUCCULENT CARE TIPS
Succulents grow best in temperatures between 50°F to 80°F. When the temperature rises above 80°F, especially in summer, it’s important to provide shade or indirect sunlight to protect sensitive or variegated varieties from sunburn. We specialize in selling high-quality imported succulents. All plants are shipped from Zone 9B. Before shipping, we carefully check each succulent to ensure it meets our quality standards. Typically, they are kept under observation for at least 2 weeks to ensure they are stable.
Due to import regulations, some imported succulents may arrive without roots, but don’t worry, succulents can survive for a long time without roots and will eventually grow new ones with proper care. Some are kept fully rooted before sending out, depending on the variety and condition.
Succulents naturally adjust themselves to the weather around them, but it’s important to gradually expose them and train them to the conditions at your place. Imported succulents require a little more experience to grow than local succulents. You can do your own research before purchasing, or we’ll be happy to provide you with additional care information as follows:Unpacking Your Succulents
• Unpack your succulents as soon as they arrive, handling them with care.
• Trim dead roots: Remove any dried or damaged roots.
• Remove dead leaves: Discard leaves that are transparent, shriveled, or dead. Loose or wrinkled leaves are normal and may be used for propagation if still healthy.
Preparing Your Succulents for Planting
• Rest and acclimate: Place the succulents in a cool, ventilated area for 1-2 days before planting to allow them to adjust.
• Soil selection: Use fast-draining soil. Our recommended mix is:
o 3 parts cactus and succulent soil
o 1 part perlite
o 1 part pumice
Adjust the soil mix based on your local climate and growing conditions.
• Potting: Always use pots with drainage holes to promote healthy root growth and prevent waterlogging.
• Optional top layer: Add a layer of Akadama soil on top to encourage root development.
• Place the succulent on top of the soil, without deeply burying the stem.
Light and Watering Tips
• Light conditions:
o Keep succulents in a dry, well-lit area with no direct sunlight until they are fully rooted.
o Once rooted, gradually move them to partial sunlight, then to full sun exposure.
• Watering:
o Water every 7–14 days, depending on pot size, pot material, weather and season.
o Let the soil dry completely from top to bottom before rewatering. A common mistake is watering again when only the topsoil appears dry, leading to potential root rot
Normal Adaptation Signs
• During the first few weeks:
o Succulents may appear wrinkled, soft, or lose a few leaves. This is normal as they use stored water to survive while growing new roots.
o Old bottom leaves may dry up during this process—this is part of their natural growth cycle.
• Once rooted:
o Succulents will absorb water and regain their plump, vibrant appearance. They may also grow new leaves or pups (baby plants) if mature.
o If flowering while rooting, we recommend trimming the flowers to redirect energy toward root development.
Growth Expectations
• Unique growth: Every succulent is unique and grows differently based on its environment, including lighting, weather, and care.
• Patience is key: It may take a few weeks for succulents to root and several months to fully establish themselves.
• Observation is crucial: Regularly monitor your plants’ condition to better understand their needs and adjust your care techniques accordingly.
Sustaining Vibrant Color and Health
To maintain your succulents’ stunning colors and healthy growth:
• Provide sufficient sunlight.
• Water appropriately.
• Ensure a balanced temperature suitable for their species.
