CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Succulent Arrangements

WATER

Water your arrangement as soon as you receive it. When watering, you want to see water come out of the drainage hole on the bottom of the planter. That's how you know it's getting a good drink.

LIGHT

Contrary to popular belief, succulents need lots of sun in order to thrive. And these little beauties prefer several hours of the bright, morning sun. They can be stored inside a brightly lit room or window sill. Or outside where you get some shade in the afternoons. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent sunburn.

TIPS

Wait until the soil is completely DRY before the next watering. A way to test this is by sticking a bamboo skewer stick or toothpick about an inch deep, pulling out and seeing whether or not any dirt is stuck to it or if it comes out clean (if it's dry or still somewhat moist/cool to the touch. If dry, it's time for a drink! If still a little wet, leave it alone and wait a couple of more days to water. Pull off any leaves that show signs of brown or yellowing to avoid rotting or fungus.

Succulent Terrariums

LIGHT

Keep your terrarium in bright, indirect light. Do not place the terrarium in direct sun in order to prevent overheating and possibly burning your plants. In a low-light environment, you can use a grow light bulb.

WATER

Water your succulent terrarium with a baster/pipette around the base, making sure the roots are getting a thorough drink. Avoid wetting the leaves and do not mist. Wait for the soil to completely dry out before the next watering. You can use the same soil moisture test mentioned above under the arrangement care section. :)

PRUNING

Shriveled leaves indicate a lack of water. Yellowing leaves indicate over-watering. Remove any yellow or dead leaves. Most succulents can be trimmed if they outgrow the terrarium and replanted in a bigger pot.

Succulent Pumpkins

After you have created your Succulent Pumpkin, wait 7 days for their first spritz of water.

That way all of the glued succulents have settled and callused over a bit.

Get a spray bottle and fill it with distilled or spring water. When spraying, focus on thoroughly wetting the moss and base of the plants.

Wipe off any moisture collected around and on the bottom of the pumpkin.

Best to place on a trivet for good air circulation.

Only spray once a week. Do not overwater to prevent root rot and killing your plants.

If you have your pumpkin inside of your home, make sure it gets ample sunlight so the succulents will stay rosette-like and retain their vibrant colors.

Allow it to get some fresh air for about 2 hours a day in the morning.

Do not leave your succulent pumpkin in direct sun as

your succulents may burn or freckle and the pumpkin may rot.

Once you’re ready to transplant your succulents, you can carefully remove them from the top of your pumpkin and repot them in a good draining soil (Palm, Citrus, and Cactus soil - can be found at your local hardware store).

Lastly, enjoy your beautiful creation!

Vertical Succulent Gardens

WATER

Wait two weeks to water your freshly planted vertical garden. Water by drenching the topiary with cool water. The watering schedule will depend on your climate. Be sure not to water until the moss is completely dry or the plant leaves have a slightly leathery feel.

LIGHT

Contrary to popular belief, succulents need lots of sun in order to thrive. And these little beauties prefer several hours of the bright, morning sun. They can be stored inside a brightly lit room or window sill. Or outside where you get some shade in the afternoons. Getting hours of direct morning or late afternoon sunshine will keep the succulent colors vibrant and the plants compact. Avoid direct midday sunlight to prevent sunburn.

TIPS

Wait until the moss is completely DRY before the next watering. Pull off any leaves that show signs of brown or yellowing to avoid rotting or fungus.

Succulent Eiffel Tower

Please mist thoroughly with water as soon as you receive your arrangement. Continue misting with water in a spray bottle every 1-2 weeks or when leaves look a bit wrinkly.

Contrary to popular belief, succulents need lots of sun in order to thrive. And these little beauties prefer several hours of bright, morning sun. They can be stored inside a brightly lit room or window sill. Or outside where you get some shade in the afternoons. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent sunburn.

TIPS: Attach top portion of tower to bottom half. The word PARIS on the top piece is considered the FRONT of the tower. Pull off any leaves that show signs of brown or yellowing to avoid rotting or fungus. All succulents can be removed from tower and transferred to a pot of succulent soil later to continue growing for years to come!
