These plants are as tough as their namesake and demand little in the way of water and fertilizer. Give them a sunny window and well-draining soil and your miniature mastodon, in plant form, will be happy!

Maintenance Notes:- For optimal performance, keep your Succulent at 60-85°F (15-29°C).
- Succulents love sunlight, and will perform best in a bright, sunny location that receives 4-6 hours of sunlight per day. A windowsill or position with sunny southern exposure is ideal.
- If your succulent is getting leggy or leaning to one side, it is stretching for sunlight. Move it to a brighter location and rotate your plant regularly to ensure even growth.
- Succulents are drought-tolerant, and prefer to dry out in between waterings.
- Feed your Succulent once per month at half strength when it is actively growing. Reduce frequency of fertilization in the winter months.
- Protect furniture when watering & fertilizing.
- Succulents grow best in a Cactus & Succulent Soil Mix or in all-purpose potting mix with added sand and perlite to ensure sharp drainage.
