Succulents: Tiny, Tough, and Totally Cute
Succulents: Tiny, Tough, and Totally Cute
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!
Ready to start your succulent squad?
Shop our Succulent Rootlings, Babies, or fully grown plants in the shop. Don’t forget your Signature Grow Mix and a little Root Boost—because even low-maintenance cuties deserve premium care.
