Care Tips

Light: These plants require bright light but avoid direct sunlight most of the time so the leaves don’t get damaged. 

Water: The watering method is very important to keep your plant healthy. It should not sit on the water, and an excess amount of water should be avoided. The best way of watering is using the soak and dry method. 

Soil: Only need to ensure that the content of granular soil is more than 50%. In general, you can use the ratio of charcoal soil, perlite and coarse river sand mixed, and then add some well-rotted organic fertilizer to the soil as a base fertilizer.

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: Suitable temperature is 50-77°F (10-25°C). General indoor temperatures are appropriate.

Humidity: They grow well in average household humidity levels when grown indoors. Normal household humidity is good for this plant.

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.
