There is a problem with what I received

Please send me photos immediately as well as other necessary information. I try my hardest to make sure your plants arrive in good condition and I am willing to work with you on these difficulties.

  • Sometimes the bottom leaves of succulents may dry out during shipping. This is fairly common, not a worry, and the succulent will regrow and repair itself promptly.
  • Sometimes the succulent might be a slightly greener or redder shade than what is pictured in my shop. Photos were taken in the late autumn and succulent colors change depending on the season, amount of sunlight, temperature, etc.

My succulent has just arrived. How do I care for it?

While meticulously packaged, succulents might still be unhappy from their travels, but they will recover rapidly. Immediately plant your succulent in a coarse potting mix, such as cactus mix, which has perlite or pumice to aid with drainage and aeration and a pot with adequate drainage holes.

To best care for your succulent, keep it indoors in a sunny place or outdoors under the shade (if not winter) for the first few days-weeks, as newly potted succulents can easily get sunburned, especially pale and variegated varieties.

Gradually introduce them to more sunlight after a few days. Wait about two days before watering the newly arrived plant. After that, only water the soil when it's fully dry. 

 

I see you mention "rosette" often, what does it mean?

In botany, a rosette is an object or arrangement resembling a single rose, that is, a circular arrangement of leaves arising from the center or base of a plant.

Most succulents form rosettes and will maintain this form forever. The rosette shape allows for maximum exposure to the sun while directing moisture toward the roots.

 

How do I care for my plant/bulb/seed?
