Provide porous soil with adequate drainage, pots with drainage hole are recommended. Bright, filtered light and ample airflow. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Never let your succulents sit in water. Do NOT water on the leaves. If you water from beneath by letting the plant sit in a saucer of water, make sure to pour off any excess water after a few minutes. The hotter it is outside, the faster your soil will dry out, so you’ll need to water more often if you live in a hot area. Water with caution in winter, as the plant can lose its roots if the soil stays cold and wet for extended periods; protect from frost to prevent scarring.

Beautiful plant with great packaging

The plant came in excellent condition and was very well packaged. A very kind card was also delivered with the package due to it being a sympathy gift for a friend. Would recommend and purchase again.

I'M IN LOVE ❤️

I'm not one to play favorites but this plant steals my heart. It has bushed out since I received it less than a month ago. I do mist it once a week or so and it's under a grow light for the winter. After the light goes out and before it turns on in the morning this guys leaves turn upwards, as if in prayer.
