How much sun exposure do succulents need?

How much sun exposure do succulents need? It depends on the climate, locale, and type of plant. Along the coast of California, from the Bay Area south, most succulents are fine out in the open year-round. Inland, it's a different story; most succulents will need some sun protection in summer especially in the afternoon. But often all that is needed is the right microclimate, such as a lacy tree canopy. Incidentally, even in their native habitats, young cacti won't tolerate open exposure. They grow in the shade of nurse plants until they're large enough to handle the rigors of the desert.

What's the ideal light for succulents, indoors or out?

Actively growing succulents do best with full spectrum light that is bright and diffused—beneath shade cloth outdoors or (if in a greenhouse) translucent white plastic. (Optimal light is when shadows are fuzzy, not sharp.) Dormant succulents don’t need a full spectrum light source (fluorescent is fine if you’re overwintering them indoors).

How much water is ideal?

Aim to keep soil about as moist as a wrung-out sponge. About once a week should do it. Water thoroughly to soak the roots and flush salts. For succulents in containers, that means until water drips out the bottom of the pot. Water more during hot, dry spells and less or not at all during periods of high humidity, cool temperatures and rain. Also, the fatter the succulent or the fleshier its leaves, the more water it stores in its tissues and the less water it needs (and will tolerate). Cacti in general are less tolerant of overwatering than smooth-leaved succulents.

***WHAT IS INCLUDED***
One live 2 inch/ 4 inch potted Crassula Buddha's Temple in a shipping box with filler

How to Care for Your Plant:

Soil: Use a fast-draining soil mix primarily composed of peat moss and/or a succulent and cactus mix, supplemented with plenty of perlite.

Light: Place your plant in bright, indirect light indoors or in shaded areas outdoors, avoiding prolonged direct sunlight.

Watering: Water infrequently—no more than once a week, depending on your local climate. Ensure the soil appears and feels dry before watering again.

Potting: If kept indoors, use a well-draining terracotta pot to promote healthy root growth.

Fertilizing: Fertilize once a month during the growing season with a suitable houseplant food.

Please note that plants may vary in color and shape from the images, and some imperfections may occur due to the shipping process.

The cactus is so cute! It is a little wobbly in its container but it was packed very well for the cross country trip. I can not wait for it to grow up!

Item arrived in great condition, hoping to settle it into the soul a little better as it is a little wobbly.

I ordered three of the 4” pot and was disappointed in the size variance - one was very small and died right away. The other two seem healthy and are hanging in there.
