Succulent Care Tips:
What to know
A note about your purchase:
THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING A ROOTED MILL VALLEY SUCCULENT DESIGN. OUR DESIGNS HAVE BEEN WATERED WITHIN DAYS MAYBE EVEN MINUTES OF YOU RECEIVING IT SO YOU DO NOT NEED TO WATER IT AGAIN FOR ANOTHER WEEK. IF IT’S HOT, CHECK IT MORE FREQUENTLY TO SEE IF IT NEEDS WATER.
Care Tips
WATER
THE BEST WAY TO WATER A ROOTED ARRANGEMENT IS BY USING THE PLASTIC SQUIRT BOTTLE (USUALLY PROVIDED). EACH SUCCULENT ONLY NEEDS 2 TABLESPOONS OF WATER. IF THE CONTAINER HAS DRAINAGE, YOU CAN WATER IT UNTIL WATER BEGINS TO FLOW OUT OF THE BOTTOM. (MAKE SURE TO USE SOMETHING TO PROTECT THE SURFACE IT WILL BE ON IF IT HAS A DRAINAGE HOLE) SUCCULENTS LIKE TO BE SOAKED AND THEN DRY OUT COMPLETELY BETWEEN WATERING. WHEN POSSIBLE, WATER THE SOIL AROUND THE PLANT, NOT ON TOP OF IT. WATERING ON TOP CAN LEAD TO WATER POOLING &; LEAVES CAN ROT. IF YOUR SUCCULENTS ARE IN A VESSEL WITHOUT A DRAINAGE HOLE, PLEASE MAKE SURE NOT TO OVERWATER OR THE ROOTS WILL ROT. LET THE LEAVES BE YOUR GUIDE. WHEN IN DOUBT, WATER LESS FREQUENTLY (2/3xMOS).
LIGHT
INDOOR SUCCULENTS NEED ALL THE LIGHT THEY CAN GET, EXCEPT DIRECT SUNLIGHT. IF YOUR SUCCULENT IS STARTING TO STRETCH, THAT IS A SIGN THAT IT NEEDS MORE LIGHT. TRY ROTATING IT TO A DIFFERENT ROOM OR NEAR A WINDOW, EVEN FOR A DAY. OUTDOOR SUCCULENTS NEED SUN IN THE MORNING & BRIGHT SHADE IN THE AFTERNOON. PROTECT YOUR PLANTS IN HARSHER WEATHER (EXTREME HEAT OR FROST/RAIN) BY BRINGING THEM INSIDE OR PUTTING THEM UNDER A COVERED SPACE.
SUCCULENT LETTERS/SYMBOLS
FOR SUCCULENT LETTERS/SYMBOLS, UPON RECEIVING PLEASE KEEP FLAT FOR 3 WEEKS BEFORE HANGING VERTICALLY. THIS WILL ALLOW THE PLANTS TO ROOT. SOAK IN SINK OR USE HOSE TO SOAK WELL. WAIT A DAY TO LET DRY BEFORE YOU HANG IT BACK UP. SUCCULENT LETTERS GENERALLY DON’T LIKE TO BE INDOORS. THEY PREFER ALL OF THE ELEMENTS OF OUTDOORS. IF YOU SEE THE LEAVES CRINKLE OR DRIED UP, THAT IS A SIGN OF LACK OF WATER. EACH SUCCULENT IS INDIVIDUALLY PINNED INTO THE MOSS FOR STABILIZATION. IF YOU SEE ONE FALLING OUT, SIMPLY PIN IT BACK IN, OR CONTACT US FOR HELP.
SIGNS OF UNDER-WATERING
DRY, CRISPY LEAVES–NOT GROWING (ALTHOUGH MOST SUCCULENTS ARE SLOW GROWING) STEM LOOKS CONSTRICTED INSTEAD OF PLUMP.
SIGNS OF OVERWATERING
SOFT, WRINKLED LEAVES – BLACK ROT ON LOWER STEMS~LEAVES FALL OFF EASILY.
