Succulent Care Guide

Succulents need light to maintain their beautiful shape and color! Provide bright indirect sunlight several hours a day. Avoid placing them in direct sun as this may cause sunburn. Try to place them near a south- or east-facing window. You may notice your succulents becoming spindly or stretching toward the light if they don't get enough sun.

Water only when the soil is dry! Don’t water if the soil is wet! 
If it takes 2 weeks for the soil to dry, then water in 2 weeks. If it takes 2 days for the soil to dry, then you can water in 2 days! Do NOT mist or use a spray bottle to water, this can cause rot, fungal and burned leaf issues. A watering can works best!

Overwatered succulents are soft and may be discolored. The leaves may be yellow or white and lose their color. A plant in this condition may be beyond repair, but you can still remove it from its pot and inspect the roots. If they are brown and rotted, cut away dead roots, let them dry completely and repot into fresh, dry potting media. Overwatering and root rot are the #1 killer of succulents!! they prefer being under watered vs. over watered!!

Underwatered succulents will first stop growing, then begin to drop leaves. A good drink will definitely make them happy.
