Succulent Care Tips:

Follow these rules of (green) thumb to keep these cuties thriving.

• Pick the Right Plants: Succulents that are mostly green will do the best indoors.

• Water Correctly: Soak the soil when watering, then let it dry out completely before watering again. A tablespoon or two once a week should do it!

• Place in the Sun: Try to put your plants by a sunny, south-facing window to best simulate their native habitat.
