Care Tips

Light: The optimum amount of sun or shade each plant needs to thrive: Full Sun 6+ hours, part Sun 4 to 6 hours, and full shade up to 4 hours. 

Water: No more than once a week, depending on your area and climate zone – the soil should look and feel dry. Try not to water during the rainy season, as the water will not evaporate and will easily rot the roots. Don't water it at a fixed time, just wait for the soil to dry out and water it.

Soil: Use fast draining soil consists of mostly peat moss and/or succulent and cactus planting mix and ample amount of Perlite. Preferring a soil pH range of 5.8 to 6.2, you may have to amend particularly rocky soils to reach that range.

Potting: A well-draining holes. Like terracotta pots because the clay helps wick moisture away from the roots. Very attractive to butterflies, this would make a wonderful pollinator garden inhabitant, or a thrilling resident of a rock garden or rock terrace with its spilling habit. This is one ground cover that keeps giving all year around!

Temperature: The most suitable temperature for Dream Dazzler growth is 59 - 86°F (15-30℃). So in spring or autumn, the succulent grows fastest. Too high or too low temperature is not conducive to its growth. In winter when the temperature is low, the temperature should be controlled above 46°F (8℃,) and the maximum temperature in summer should not exceed 95°F (35℃). 

Humidity: 'Dream Dazzler' grows well in average household humidity levels when grown indoors. Does not like too much humidity. Normal household humidity is good for this plant.

Care Instructions

Please visit our Succulent Care info page for more details.

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.
