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

Can succulents survive winter conditions?

Accepted Answer

Most succulents aren’t winter hardy in the United States. Southern states offer the best chance for overwintering. Ideally, succulents should be kept above freezing temperatures, around 35°F to 40°F, to stay safe.

Question 5

What are the light requirements for succulents?

Accepted Answer

Succulents thrive in part to full sun, with species like Haworthia, Gasteria, and Peperomia preferring part to full shade. Indoors, you might need artificial lighting to meet their needs. Watch for signs like stretching, discoloration, or leaf loss, which indicate insufficient light.
