Succulent

Light

• Bright, indirect light to full sun, depending on the succulent variety.

• Indoors: Place near a south- or west-facing window for 6–8 hours of sunlight daily.

• Outdoors: Gradually introduce succulents to full sun to prevent sunburn.

Watering

• Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings.

• Water deeply, letting excess drain out—avoid leaving water in the saucer or container.

• Water less frequently in fall and winter when growth slows.

Temperature

• Ideal temperature: 60–80°F.

• Most succulents cannot tolerate frost—bring them indoors if temperatures drop below 40°F.

• Protect from extreme heat to prevent stress.

Soil

• Use well-draining, sandy soil:

• Cactus or succulent potting mix

• Ensure containers have drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.

Fertilizing

• Feed during the growing season (spring–summer).

• Use a diluted cactus or succulent fertilizer (low in nitrogen) every 4–6 weeks.

• Avoid fertilizing in fall and winter when succulents are dormant.

Arrangement Tips

• Combine succulents with similar care needs (light, water, and size).

• Create visual interest by mixing different textures, shapes, and colors.

Pruning & Maintenance

• Remove dead or yellowing leaves to maintain a clean appearance.

• Prune leggy growth to encourage compact growth.

• Repot every 2–3 years, or when succulents outgrow their containers.
