How to care for your new plant?

Thank you for ordering from MGC Succulents! We’re so thrilled you’re as obsessed with plants as we are. Get ready for some green goodness!

What should I do when my package arrives?

First things first, throw on a mask and gloves when handling plants and soil (just being safe).

Your plants have been on quite the journey! They might look a little thirsty and stretched out—totally normal. Best thing to do? Pot them up right away and give them a good soak. The best way to rehydrate them is to put a dish under your pot and let the water soak up for a few hours. This way, the roots get all the hydration they need. 

Since we grow our sun lovers in full sun, they may need a gentle re-introduction to the sun. Gradually increase their sun exposure each day to avoid any shock or sunburn. They'll thank you later! 

Shade Lovers:
Place these beauties indoors or in a shady spot where they can get some filtered light. They do love their privacy and a little airflow, so don't lock them away in a dark room.

Sun Lovers:
These little guys need the spotlight! Stick them outside in a sunny spot where they can soak up at least 4-5 hours of sunshine. Growing them indoors? Make sure there’s plenty of sunlight and good airflow.

Watering Tips:

The secret to happy plants is dehydrate then rehydrate. Let the plant dry out completely before watering again. No spray bottles—they just water the leaves and not the roots, and we want those roots to get a good drink. The best trick is to put a dish under your plant and let the roots soak it up like they’re at a spa. 

For best results, water between 6am-10am—this helps avoid root rot since your plant will have plenty of time to absorb the water before the heat of the day. 🕒

This is just general advice based on our sunny location, so remember your plant may need a little extra TLC depending on where you’re at. 

Enjoy your new green pals, and happy planting!
