Let your plant settle first
Unpack your succulent gently, remove loose packing material, and place it in bright indirect light. Give it a few days to settle before making major care changes.
Care Guide
Simple care for happy succulents.
A practical guide for light, watering, soil, airflow, and temperature after your plants arrive.
LightBright, indirect light helps succulents keep compact, healthy growth.
WaterWater deeply only when the soil is fully dry.
SoilUse a fast-draining cactus or succulent mix.
AirflowGood airflow helps prevent rot and keeps plants fresh.
Bright light, gentle transition
Most succulents love bright light. If moving a plant into stronger sun, transition it gradually so leaves do not scorch.
Dry soil before watering
Water thoroughly, then let excess water drain away. Wait until the soil is dry before watering again. Overwatering is the most common succulent care mistake.
Drainage matters
Use a gritty, well-draining mix and a pot with drainage whenever possible. Dense soil holds moisture too long for most succulents.
Keep leaves dry and fresh
Good airflow helps soil dry at a healthy pace. Avoid leaving plants in closed, damp spaces after watering.
Protect from extremes
Keep succulents away from frost, freezing windows, and extreme heat. A warm, stable indoor spot is best for most varieties.
