PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS:
Planting cuttings
1. The cut should dry out, making the new plant less susceptible to rot. Cuttings can be planted after 5-10 days of drying (thick stems require a longer drying period), growing a "callous" over the cut surface. This can take anywhere from two to seven days. To dry the wound, leave the cutting in a shady, warm exposure, not direct sun.
2. Prepare a succulent potting mix. While waiting for the cuttings to dry, fill a small pot with a fast-draining succulent/cactus potting mix. If you wish to make your own, mix together three parts potting soil, two parts sand, and one part perlite. Use coarse, salt-free, store-bought sand if possible since hand-gathered sand may contain microorganisms or salts that could harm plants.
3.Select an appropriately sized pot to plant your cutting.
Succulent plants thrive in pots that aren't too much bigger than the plant itself. Pots that allow for about an inch or two of growing room should be fine while the cutting is getting started. The pot must have a drainage hole.
GROWING CACTUS AND SUCCULENT:
1.Plant the cutting. Stems cuttings can be planted as usual, burying the stem until the lowest leaves are just above the soil, but not touching it. Buried leaves are more likely to rot, so if you have a leaf cutting, try just touching the cut end to the soil surface, propping the leaf up with pebbles.
2.Place the plant in a warm, airy location. Young succulents may not have the water supply to withstand direct sunlight, unlike adult plants. They do best in
indirect sunlight, temperatures of around 68ºF (20ºC), and in locations with good airflow.
3. Keep the soil slightly moist. Young succulent cuttings need a regular supply of water in order to stay alive and develop roots. However, succulents are
adapted to dry climates and will usually rot if kept in soaking conditions. Try using a spray bottle or small pitcher to add water to the top of the soil as soon it dries out, or about every week or two in cold weather, since the roots have not yet developed.
4.Reduce watering as the plant develops. A stem cutting may have a sufficient root system after four weeks (depending on your climate), at which point
you may water as infrequently as once a month. Leaf cuttings will develop more slowly, but can also be tracked by eye as small leaves and roots emerge from the cut end. Gradually reduce watering frequency once the roots enter the soil, which may take six weeks or longer. It is MUCH more likely that a cutting will be killed by over watering than under watering.
5.Use fertilizer cautiously. Succulents are slow-growing plants, and are not adapted to growing in high-nutrient soil.Use a balanced fertilizer (for instance, 10-10-10) only during the growing season, and only once the young plant is at least four weeks old, with established roots. Consider using the fertilizer at ½ or ¼ the recommended dose, to prevent the plant becoming overly tall and "leggy" with little foliage, or burning its root system.

SUCCULENT CARE GUIDE:
1.Give your succulents adequate light. Succulents are sun-loving plants and generally prefer warm, bright light and dry soil. Young and newly planted succulents are susceptible to burning in direct sunlight, so be sure to gently introduce them to full sun exposure. Rotate your succulents often to ensure every side is getting adequate sun exposure; this will help your succulent stand up straight.
2.Rotate your succulents often to ensure every side is getting adequate sun exposure; this will help your succulent stand up straight.This will also ensure even sunlight coverage and even growing.
3.Water your succulents according to season. When succulents are growing in spring and summer, they will need more water than compared to when they’re resting in fall and winter. During growing months, soak your succulent in water (until water drips out of the pot) whenever the top soil is dry.
4.Choose a container with proper drainage. You will need to use a pot or container with at least one drain hole.
5.If indoors, your succulents may start to collect dust and debris. Use an old toothbrush or soft paintbrush to wipe away anything that doesn’t belong on your plant.
6.Choosing the right soil is important when potting your plant. Be sure to use cactus soil or any well draining soil. If you wish to make your own, mix together three parts potting soil, two parts sand, and one part perlite. Use coarse, salt-free, store-bought sand if possible since hand-gathered sand may contain microorganisms or salts that could harm plants.
7.Bugs and pests may make a home out of your new succulent. If your succulent is attracting bugs, you must first isolate the plant before the pests spread to others. Make sure that your healthy plants are not infected either. Then, spray your infected plant with 75% rubbing alcohol. The alcohol will evaporate quickly, so don’t worry about the spray damaging your succulent! Continue to spray the infected plant weekly until the pests disappear.
It’s likely that your succulent is attracted pests due to moist soil or low airflow. Be sure to water your plant as only when necessary and keep them in a place with good airflow!
8.Use fertilizer cautiously. Succulents are slow-growing plants, and are not adapted to growing in high-nutrient soil.Use a balanced fertilizer (for instance, 10-10-10) only during the growing season, and only once the young plant is at least four weeks old, with established roots. Consider using the fertilizer at ½ or ¼ the recommended dose, to prevent the plant becoming overly tall and "leggy" with little foliage, or burning its root system.
