Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your cactus succulent collection is surprisingly simple, as these plants are incredibly resilient. The most common mistake people make is overwatering. Remember, these are ‘water storing’ plants and prefer to be on the drier side. A good rule of thumb is to water thoroughly and then allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. To check if the soil is dry, you can stick your finger about an inch into the soil. If it feels moist, wait longer before watering. Humidity, light, and temperature all play a role in how often your plants will need water, so there’s no fixed schedule. When in doubt, it’s always better to underwater than to overwater.

Light is crucial for the health of your 8 live succulents. They absolutely love bright sunlight and will thrive on a sunny windowsill, porch, or any location that receives ample light. If your plants start to stretch or become leggy, it’s a sign they’re not getting enough light. While they enjoy bright conditions, some varieties may prefer indirect bright light during the hottest parts of the day to prevent scorching. Ensure good air circulation, especially in humid environments, to prevent fungal issues. These hardy plants are well-suited for various indoor and outdoor settings, making them excellent easy care houseplants.

For soil, a well-draining potting mix specifically formulated for cacti and succulents is ideal. This type of soil prevents water logging, which is detrimental to these plants. Fertilization is generally not required frequently; a diluted, balanced fertilizer can be applied once or twice during the growing season (spring and summer). Repotting is usually only necessary every few years or when the plant outgrows its current container. When repotting, choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has drainage holes. This attention to detail will keep your cactus succulent collection flourishing.
