Question 1

Which potting soil do we recommend?

Accepted Answer

Any potting soil that is low-medium porosity and is well draining will perform well. Looking specifically for a potting soil that is advertised for Succulents, Cacti, or being well draining is ideal. Adding small-medium amounts of Rice Hulls, Perlite or Vermiculite to a potting soil can increase soil drainage.

Question 3

How do I water my succulent?

Accepted Answer

Established succulents prefer to be heavily watered infrequently. Always allowing the soil your succulent is planted in to dry in between watering is ideal. Small, non-established succulents will do better with little-medium watering. Succulents can go dry and will not die quickly if left dry for extended periods of time. Stress signs may be noticed, indicating watering is necessary.

Question 4

Are succulents winter hardy?

Accepted Answer

Most succulents are not winter hardy in the United States. Southern-most states have the best chance of over wintering succulents. The ideal lowest temperature a succulent can withstand is above freezing temperatures (Degrees of 35F - 40F to be safe).

Question 5

How much light do succulents need?

Accepted Answer

Many succulents grow the best in Part-Full Sun. Namely species like Haworthia, Gasteria, and Peperomia grow well in Part-Full Shade. When keeping succulents indoors artificial lighting may be necessary. If levels of light are below what the plant needs, signs to observe include stretching, discoloration and leaf loss.
