Care Tips

Light: Can accept strong sunlight, but also can not be exposed to the sun (Proper shade to prevent leaf burn). The color is more vivid and the plant is more beautiful and compact under the environment of long light time and certain temperature differences. If there is no light, the leaves will be light green, the leaves will be flat and sparse, and the leaves will be elongated. 

Water: Water three times a month during the growing season, and less or no water during the dormant season. For newly purchased plants, do not water them, let them slowly pass through the slowing period, and the same goes for plants that have just been replaced, they need to adapt to the environment before watering.

Soil: The basic soil should be a loose, fertile, well-drained sandy loam. In terms of fertility, the potting soil needs to be fertile. A good potting soil will allow it to grow faster and the plant will look more beautiful and full.

Potting: It is recommended to use ceramic pots. Ceramic pots have a certain degree of permeability. Clay pots lose water too quickly, plastic pots tend to retain water for too long and permeability is poor.

Temperature: The appropriate temperature is 50-77°F (10-25 ℃), autumn and winter temperature difference is easier to color, temperature over 86°F (30 ℃) recommended shade treatment, below 41°F (5 ℃), please move to indoor winter, otherwise it is easy to frostbite. In summer, we can put it in a cool place, when it will grow dormant, and pay attention to keep the surrounding ventilation.  

Humidity: Lavender Pebbles grow well in average household humidity levels when grown indoors. Does not like too much humidity. Normal household humidity is good for this plant.

Care Instructions

Please visit our Succulent Care info page for more details.

To ensure the health of succulents, it is important to plant them in porous, well-draining soil. Succulents require little watering, but don't like to sit in wet soil. To create an adequate cactus mix, simply add pumice, perlite, or grit to cactus soil to provide the proper drainage.

Make sure to leave drought periods between waterings to prevent the plant from water-logging.
