Succulent care

 
 

succulent care

Light:

Place in bright, direct or indirect sunlight. South or East-facing windows are ideal. Insufficient light leads to "stretching" or etiolation (pale, leggy growth)

Water:

Water thoroughly until water drains from the pot holes, then allow the soil to dry out completely before watering again. This usually means every 2-3 weeks, or more frequently in summer and less in winter.

Soil & Potting:

Use a fast-draining potting mix, such as a specialized cactus/succulent mix, or amend potting soil with sand, pumice, or perlite. Terra cotta pots are ideal because they allow soil to breathe.

Temperature & Humidity:

Succulents prefer temperatures between 55°F - 75°F (13°C - 24°C). They thrive in low-humidity environments.

Maintenance:

Wipe dust off leaves periodically and rotate pots to ensure all sides get sunlight.

Yellowing/Mushy Leaves-

Overwatering (root rot).

Wrinkled/Drooping Leaves-
