🌵 Succulent Care Guide

Bright, sculptural, and easy to love succulents bring a touch of sunshine indoors. Here’s how to help them thrive:

Light:
Succulents love bright, direct light. Place them near a sunny window or outdoors in filtered sun. Rotate occasionally so all sides get light.

Water:
Less is more. Water only when the soil is completely dry — typically every 2–4 weeks depending on your environment. Always empty excess water from saucers to prevent rot.

Humidity & Temperature:
They prefer dry air and warm temperatures between 65–90°F. Avoid humid areas like bathrooms.

Soil & Repotting:
Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. Repot every 1–2 years in spring, choosing a pot with drainage holes.

Fertilizer:
Feed lightly 1–2 times during the growing season (spring/summer) with a diluted cactus fertilizer. Skip winter feedings.

Care Tip:
Wrinkled or soft leaves mean your plant needs a drink; mushy, translucent leaves mean it’s had too much.
