Caring for Your Succulent Arrangement
Watering: This succulent arrangement without drainage holes at the bottom, so watering requires special attention. Pouring a large amount of water may lead to excess moisture accumulation, posing the risk of root rot for the succulent plants. Therefore, we recommend using a squeeze bottle for watering. Moss has water retention properties, so you don't need to water every day. Check the condition of the succulents once a week. When the bottom leaves start to soften and wrinkle, it indicates a need for water. When watering, focus near the base of each succulent, evenly watering 2-3 rounds
Lighting: All succulent plants require light to maintain their shape and color. It is recommended to place the succulent arrangement on a bright tabletop with diffused light, preferably with indirect sunlight. However, these light conditions may not be sufficient to preserve the color of the succulents. For optimal color maintenance, it is advisable to periodically expose them to direct sunlight outdoors for about a week (avoid doing so in summer and winter). If you are concerned about an empty tabletop, we suggest creating two succulent arrangements for rotation.
Temperature: Most succulents can tolerate temperatures between 40-95°F. During winter, it's best to bring outdoor succulent arrangements indoors.
Pruning: The key to keeping your succulent arrangement in perfect shape is regular trimming and replacement of plants. Trimming involves removing dried leaves from the base of the succulents and beheading elongated ones to maintain the plant's shape. If some succulents are beyond recovery, replace them with new ones. When the succulent arrangement becomes too crowded, you can also remove some plants and place them in separate pots.
Creating Your Succulent Arrangement
Step 1: Fill the galvanized pot with 2/3 succulent soil mix.
Step 2: Place two 4-inch Echeverias in the first row, visually centered or on both sides, filling the gaps with 2-inch plants.
Step 3: Plant some upright-growing succulents in the second row, periodically adding soil to ensure plant stability, enhancing spatial perception and visual appeal.
Step 4: Arrange different plants in the third row following the first-row pattern.
Step 5: Fill gaps with moss to cover exposed soil.
Step 6: Use a brush or tool to clean dust and soil from the plant surfaces. Succulent arrangement – complete!

Winter shipping
We insist on shipping succulents to our customers all year round.
