Care Tips

Upon arrival, gently unpack your starter plant. Allow it to acclimate for a day or two before repotting if desired.

For Outdoor Planting: Best suited for frost-free climates (USDA Zones 9-11). Choose a location with full sun to bright indirect light. Intense direct sun can enhance color but may require a slight acclimation. Ensure excellent drainage; use a gritty, well-draining succulent or cactus mix. Water thoroughly only when the soil is completely dry, then allow it to dry out fully before watering again. Reduce watering significantly in cooler months.

For Indoor Growing: Place in the brightest possible location, such as a south or west-facing window, or under a grow light to ensure vibrant coloration and prevent stretching. Use a pot with drainage holes and a well-draining succulent potting mix. Water sparingly; allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot. Ensure good air circulation. Fertilize very lightly during the active growing season (spring/summer) with a diluted succulent fertilizer.
