Growing Instructions: 

Moderate light, Low water Prefers full sun to partial shade. It thrives in bright light but should be protected from harsh midday sun to prevent sunburn. Requires gritty, porous soil with excellent drainage. A cactus or succulent mix is ideal. Needs regular watering over summer but should be allowed to dry out between waterings. Minimal water is required in winter. Hardy in USDA zones 9b to 11b (25°F to 50°F or -3.9°C to 10°C). Easily propagated from seeds, leaf cuttings, or offsets. Even a leaf that drops off can root and produce a new plant. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. Watch out for common pests like mealybugs, vine weevils, and aphids.

Ships in the 4.5” pot shown in the pictures. You will receive the exact plant in the pictures. I have only grown plants in Florida and will send out anything I feel comfortable will grow here. It is up to you to know the conditions that these plants grow in the part of the country you reside. If your plant arrives rotting or dead, we will replace it for you. Please contact me with photo proof within 24 hours of delivery of your plants. It is my commitment to provide you with a live, healthy plant. Please note that minor cosmetic damage, such as a few broken leaves or small stems, may occur during transit and is a common risk inherent in the shipping process. Again, we cannot guarantee that some leaves won’t be broken or fall off- It is normal to lose some depending on the variety (Sedum, Echeveria, Cotyledon, Graptopetalum, etc...). Many kinds of leaves will re-root and grow into a new plant. Some that do not are Cotyledon and Aeonium. After 24 hours, my job is done and it is up to you (The buyer) to know how to keep it alive.
