Cacti and Succulent Care Guide

Caring for your cacti and succulents is simple with a few key steps. Here's how to keep your plants healthy and thriving:

Light Requirements

Cacti and succulents thrive in bright, indirect light, making them ideal for sunny windowsills. They can also adapt to partial sunlight outdoors. However, avoid placing them in direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as this can cause sunburn on their delicate surfaces.

Watering Needs

While cacti and succulents are drought-resistant, they still need occasional watering. Water them thoroughly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is one of the most common mistakes, so remember: less is more when it comes to watering!

Soil and Drainage

These plants prefer well-draining soil to avoid root rot. Use a specialized cactus or succulent mix, or add sand and perlite to regular potting soil. Ensure that your pots have drainage holes to allow excess water to escape.

Fun Facts About Cacti and Succulents

  • Cacti are masters of water conservation: Their thick, fleshy stems are designed to store water, allowing them to survive long periods of drought in their natural desert habitats.
  • Some succulents can change colors: When exposed to bright sunlight or cooler temperatures, certain succulents take on vibrant hues like red, orange, or purple, adding an extra pop of color to your collection.

Interesting Historical Fact About Succulents

Did you know that succulents have been used in ancient medicine? The Aloe Vera plant, a type of succulent, has been used for thousands of years in Egypt and Greece for its healing properties. It’s still a popular remedy today for soothing burns and skin irritation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Shipping

How do you ship your plants?

We carefully package each plant with love by hand right from our shop in Brooklyn. Extra steps are taken to ensure that every leaf arrives in pristine shape by using polyfill and encapsulating the plant in a protective paper sleeve. The soil is also hydrated before shipping so that the plant has plenty of water for it's travel to your doorstep. We offer several shipping speeds, so please choose the one that you feel comfortable with depending on your location. 

Will my plant look like the one on the website?

Awesome question, we're glad you asked. Given the nature of our plant shop, we're constantly moving plants in and out of the shop, making it difficult and borderline impossible to keep an exact picture of each plant. In addition to the constantly rotating crop, we often grow in batches of 6, 12, or sometimes more! With this quantity we are unable to take a photo of each and every plant. The photos that we attach to each product listing is going to be of a plant that represents the average size and fullness of that set of plants. Some may be slightly larger or smaller, but in general, similar.

Do you include heat packs with your plants?

We offer Heat Packs for sale separately from the plants in 40, 60 and 72 hour increments. Please add a heat pack or two to your order if you live in an area where your order may be affected during transit by cold temperatures. We are not responsible for orders that are placed and damage is incurred to the plant if a heat pack is not purchased.

Which heat pack should I choose?

Heat packs come in three different increments, so please choose the appropriate hour increment depending on the speed of shipping that you choose during checkout. For example, if you choose a cheaper shipping option that will take longer, please select the 72 hour heat pack. If you've chosen a shorter method of shipping, the 40 or 60 hour increment would work! We like to encourage our customers to always get more than you need, just to be on the safe side!
