Succulents and Cacti Basic Care: Easy

• Watering: Allow the soil to dry out completely between watering. Water deeply and infrequently, ensuring excess water drains away. Reduce watering to a minimum during the winter.
• Light: Most succulents and cacti thrive in bright, indirect sunlight. Some species can handle direct sunlight, but it's best to acclimate them gradually to prevent sunburn.
• Soil/Drainage: Use a well-draining potting mix designed specifically for succulents and cacti. The ideal blend should contain porous materials like perlite, pumice, or coarse sand to promote aeration and drainage.
• Temperature: Prefer warmer temperatures but can tolerate a range from about 40°F (4°C) at night to 95°F (35°C) during the day. Protect them from frost to prevent damage.
• Humidity: These plants prefer low-humidity environments. If indoor humidity is high, ensure good air circulation around the plants to help keep moisture levels down.
• Fertilizing: Feed sparingly, only during the growing season (spring and summer), using a balanced, low-nitrogen fertilizer diluted to about half the recommended strength.

Order & Shipping Info:
-Plants ship in a grower's pot, fully rooted.
-We ship every Monday and Tuesday (excluding holidays) to avoid weekend delays.
-Our photos show what you can expect, but each plant is unique and may look slightly different upon arrival.
-Minor damage during shipping is entirely normal and should be expected, especially in extreme summer or winter temperatures. Don’t worry—damaged foliage can be trimmed away and will not affect the plant's root system or overall health.
-Hold off on watering if the soil is still moist, and wait 2-4 weeks before repotting or fertilizing. This patience will help your plant adjust smoothly without going into shock.
