Succulents: Tiny, Tough, and Totally Cute

Succulents: Tiny, Tough, and Totally Cute

succulents in pots

Category: Easy Green Friends

Succulents are the plant world’s tiny tanks—adorable, low-maintenance, and ready to thrive even if you forget about them for a while. With their chubby leaves and cool shapes, they’re the perfect “starter plant” (and a collector’s dream once you’re hooked).

Why You’ll Love It

  • Beginner-approved and super forgiving

  • Comes in endless shapes, colors, and sizes

  • Ideal for sunny windowsills, desks, or shelves

  • Drought-tolerant champs = less watering, more thriving

Care Tips

Light: Loves bright, direct sunlight. South- or west-facing windows are ideal.
Water: Only water when the soil is completely dry. Once every 2–4 weeks is usually enough.
Humidity: Prefers dry air—no misting needed.
Soil: Succulents hate wet feet. Our Signature Grow Mix is just the right fast-draining blend to keep roots healthy and rot-free.

Propagation Magic

Snip off a healthy leaf or offset, let it callous for a day or two, then plant it in dry soil. Add a tiny bit of Root Boost at the base and watch roots form over time.

Root Tip

Always plant succulents in a pot with drainage holes. Too much love (aka water) is the #1 way to lose them!
