With patented new plants, you can tell that this nursery knows what they're doing when it comes to growing plants.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
- 10" nursery pot with drainage holes. Recommend transplanting after 1 year into a vessel 1-2 inches larger using cactus/succulent mix.
-
Check for pests every 1-2 weeks. If pests are found, remove with damp paper towel and use a mild organic pesticide in a spray bottle to coat the affected areas. For more information on the importance of cleaning leaves, read our guide here.
- Toxic to pets, contact veterinarian immediately if ingested.
- Water thoroughly once every 2-3 weeks and allow excess water to run out the drainage holes in the nursery pot or whichever vessel you transplant into. If your pot has no drainage holes, we recommend adding clay drainage balls to the bottom of the pot, however avoid overwatering. You can read some fundamental rules of watering here.
-
High indirect or direct light, avoid windows as they amplify the sun's intensity and create heat that may damage plant. You can find our plant placement guidelines here.
