🌿 Simple Tips for Happy, Healthy Plants

Welcome! Whether you picked up a baby succulent from us at a recent tradeshow or found this guide online, we’re glad you’re here. These low-maintenance plants are a great way to bring some green into your life — and they’re incredibly easy to care for with just a few basics.

Below is everything you need to know to help your new succulent thrive.

💧 How Often to Water Succulents

Succulents don’t need much water — too much can actually harm them.

  • Water every 2 to 4 weeks, depending on your environment.

  • Make sure the soil is completely dry between waterings.

✅ Pro Tip: If the leaves are wrinkled, it’s thirsty. If they’re soft and mushy, it’s had too much.

🌞 Best Light for Succulents

Succulents love light, but not too much direct sun.

  • Place them in bright, indirect sunlight.

  • A windowsill or a spot with filtered natural light works well.

  • Outdoors? Give them partial shade, especially in hot climates.

🌡️ Ideal Temperature for Succulents

These desert natives like it warm:

  • Keep them in 60–80°F (15–27°C).

  • Bring them indoors during freezing or extremely hot weather.

🪴 Best Soil for Succulents & When to Repot

Good drainage is key to succulent health.

  • Use a well-draining soil mix, like cactus soil.

  • Add perlite or coarse sand to improve airflow.

  • Repot when roots outgrow the container or the soil becomes compacted.

✂️ Pruning Succulents

  • Remove any dead or damaged leaves using clean scissors or shears.

  • This keeps the plant healthy and looking tidy.

🌸 Fertilizing Succulents

Feed your succulent once a month in spring and summer.

  • Use a balanced, diluted succulent or cactus fertilizer.

  • Skip fertilizing during fall and winter.

🐜 Succulent Pest Control

Most succulents are pest-resistant, but if bugs show up:

  • Use insecticidal soap or neem oil.

  • Avoid overwatering and keep airflow around the plant.

🌵 That’s All It Takes!

Succulents are some of the easiest indoor plants to care for — perfect for your desk, kitchen window, or patio. Just give them a little light, a little water, and lots of love.
