Care Tips

Light: They love the sun, and it’s required for them to be in full sun for 6 hours per day to grow well. 

Water: ​​Water them very well when the soil is fully dry. 

Soil: The soil of Cotyledon Orbiculata should be loose, airy and well-drained with a mixture of peat, vermiculite and perlite. 

Potting: It is recommended to use ceramic pots. Ceramic pots have a certain degree of permeability. Clay pots lose water too quickly, and plastic pots tend to retain water for too long and permeability is poor. 

Temperature: The growth temperature is 59-77°F (15-25°C), and it should be no less than 41°F (5℃) in the winter. 

Humidity: Cotyledon Orbiculata grows well in average household humidity levels when grown indoors. They do not like too much humidity.

Care Instructions

To ensure the health of succulents, it is important to plant them in porous, well-draining soil. Succulents require little watering, but don't like to sit in wet soil. To create an adequate cactus mix, simply add pumice, perlite, or grit to cactus soil to provide the proper drainage.

Make sure to leave drought periods between waterings to prevent the plant from water-logging.
