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.

Party Favors
All your FAQ about your succulent party favors
You should receive your order 3-5 days before your event. Once your succulents arrive, place them in a location with plenty of bright, indirect light and ensure they have access to open air. This will help them stay healthy and vibrant until your event.
Succulents generally don't require much water. Check the soil for dryness, and if needed, give them a light watering. Avoid overwatering to keep the roots healthy.
While the succulents are event-ready, it’s best to remove any protective shipping materials and let them breathe in open air and have access to bright light until the event.

Soft succulent
Most succulents thrive in bright, indirect light. To maintain their vibrant color, ensure they receive enough light, as they may lose their color if placed in too much shade. Some Echeveria varieties may even develop beautiful hues of pink, red, or purple when exposed to slightly more sunlight.
Echeveria plants prefer well-draining soil. A cactus or succulent mix works well, or you can add perlite or sand to regular potting soil to improve drainage. This helps prevent overwatering, which can lead to root rot.
Echeveria, like most succulents, does best with infrequent watering. Water deeply when the soil is completely dry, but be sure to allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Avoid watering directly on the leaves to prevent rot.
