light
Succulents prefer bright light indoors and full sun outdoors. Too much sun will result in scorched or bleached spots. Too little light and the plants will begin to stretch.
soil
Sharply or well-draining potting soil is a must! Succulents must be able to take up water but also drain and dry quickly.
water
Easy on the water! Water and drain thoroughly, then let soil dry completely between waterings.
fertilizer
During active growth fertilize every other week with a cactus or succulent specific fertilizer. Stop fertilizing during the winter.
tips and troubleshooting
Succulents are much more cold tolerant than you think. Where these plants originated, temperatures can get down to 40˚F or colder. Leaving succulents outside a little later in the fall will result in deep coloration. Added bonus, succulents do flower!
