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.

Live Plants – Frequently Asked Questions
Shipping
What will I receive?
What will I receive?
You’ll receive one healthy live plant in the nursery-pot or hanging-basket size selected above. The listed size refers to the approximate diameter of the nursery pot, not the plant’s total height or width.
Because every plant is naturally unique, height, fullness, leaf count, coloration, variegation, vine length, maturity, and overall shape may differ from the photographs.
Unless the product listing specifically states otherwise, plants arrive in a standard nursery grow pot. Decorative planters, baskets, saucers, stands, and other accessories are sold separately.
When will my plant ship or be delivered?
When will my plant ship or be delivered?
Please allow approximately 10–15 business days for processing and preparation. Ten business days is the earliest end of the range, and many orders require most or all of the stated processing window.
Processing time is separate from carrier transit time. Local NYC delivery also requires preparation and does not automatically mean same-day or next-day service.
Orders may occasionally require additional time because of plant availability, order volume, weather, seasonal demand, or courier coordination. We will send an update when confirmed fulfillment, tracking, or delivery information becomes available.
How are live plants packaged?
How are live plants packaged?
Each live plant is inspected and packed according to its size, shape, and shipping needs. Soil and foliage may be secured to reduce movement during transit, and protective materials may be added when appropriate.
Temporary drooping, shifted soil, limited leaf loss, or minor cosmetic stress can occur while a plant adjusts after shipping. This does not necessarily mean the plant is unhealthy.
What should I do when my plant arrives?
What should I do when my plant arrives?
Unpack the plant promptly and carefully remove all protective packaging. Place it in appropriate light and allow it time to adjust to its new environment.
Check the soil before watering. Do not water automatically upon arrival because the plant may already have adequate moisture. Avoid immediately fertilizing, heavily pruning, or repeatedly moving the plant while it acclimates.
Should I repot my plant immediately?
Should I repot my plant immediately?
We generally recommend allowing a newly delivered plant time to acclimate before repotting unless there is an urgent plant-health reason to do so.
Repotting an eligible small plant during the first 15 days may void the Plant Health Guarantee because it can make the cause of decline difficult to determine.
What should I do if my plant arrives damaged?
What should I do if my plant arrives damaged?
Report shipping or delivery damage within 48 hours. Keep the plant and all packaging while the concern is being reviewed.
Please provide your order number, a photograph of the entire plant, close-up photographs of the concern, and photographs of the box and packaging when applicable.
Small plants in nursery pots measuring 8 inches and below may also qualify for our 15-Day Plant Health Guarantee. Large plants in nursery pots measuring 10 inches and above have a 48-hour inspection and reporting window.
Review our Refund & Returns Policy for complete eligibility and documentation requirements.
