No return or refund Care Guide: 1.Go Easy on the Water Plants should only be watered when the soil or planting medium is completely dry. A good, reliable way to water your succulents is to place your planter on a saucer full of shallow water and wait until the water is absorbed into the soil, then remove the planter from the saucer. Signs a succulent has been overwatered include yellowing, translucent leaves that may be mushy due to the excess water causing the plant's cell walls to burst. The leaves will tend to fall off easily if touched. 2.Watering: Try to always make sure your planter has a drainage hole. Succulents should never sit in standing water; it quickly leads to root rot, so proper drainage is essential. Terra-cotta pots are porous, so they absorb extra water and allow it to evaporate quickly. Ceramic is another good, breathable option. Self-watering planters have built in drainage trays and are a novice gardener's best friend. Both terra-cotta pots and plastic self-watering planters are usually relatively cheap. 3.Plant in Well-Drained Soil Most succulents will do best in a special potting mix blend made for succulents and cacti. Regular potting soil often contains too much organic matter to help retain moisture — great for many plants but not great for succulents. You can also use a blend of potting soil, sand and perlite (white, volcanic rock that is highly absorbent and helps with drainage). 4. Keep Them Comfortably Warm Unlike their cactus kin, succulents can't take extreme heat. Succulents do best with moderate temperatures between 70 and 90 degrees, so put them by a window indoors, or outdoors on a covered patio or beneath trees in the summer. Freezing temperatures will kill them, which is why for most of us they're houseplants. 5. Get the Light Right Succulents need a 50-50 mix of sunlight and shade. Full sun burns their leaves, but too little sun makes them rangy and frail. A quick rule of thumb is that green, yellow or variegated succulents like more shade, while red, gray, and blue ones, or the ones covered in spikes, like more sun. If they're outdoors, put them in a spot that gets morning sun and afternoon shade. If you're growing succulents indoors, put them by a south-facing window to get the bright light they need. 6. Keep Their Colors Vibrant by Giving Them Sun Colorful succulents, like aeoniums, paddle kalanchoes and some varieties of sempervitum and echeveria, need at least six hours a day to maintain their rich hues. Less sun causes them to revert to back to green and elongate. Heat and extreme cold (but not freezing cold) bring out the deepest hues, so most varieties will be their most colorful in the spring when they'll get warm, sunny days and chilly nights. 9. Feed Them Fertilize succulents during their active growing season, from spring to fall. We recommend a 10-10-10 fertilizer diluted to half strength. Succulents don't need to be fertilized during winter while they're dormant. 10. Check Them for Bugs Succulents are tough, but they still need a little love from you. Check them regularly for aphids, spider mites and mealy bugs that will make a meal of your precious plants. Aphids tend to be the least offensive bugs and can be blown off with a hose on high pressure — it may take a few rounds over several weeks to completely get rid of the problem. Spider mites and mealy bugs can do damage quickly. Spider mites are very, very small red arachnids that feed on sap. Like their spider kin, they make small webs. You can blast them off with a hose. Mealy bugs are aggressive. Careful watering can help prevent mealy bugs since they are attracted to wet soil. You can spot them because your succulent will have the appearance of white fuzz; adult mealy bugs resemble small crabs. Gardeners sometimes resort to neem oil, a natural organic pesticide, to get rid of bad mealy bug infestations. If your succulents have pests, it's best to isolate them if possible so other plants don't get infested until you're able to control them.
