Autumnal Succulents provide seasonal earth or jewel tones for colorful arrangements and décor. We've thrown in a number of odd, spooky ones as well! Some are also fall bloomers and provide an important source of late-season flowers for pollinators. Read on for helpful succulent care tips.
Different types of succulents can have particular needs, so be sure to consult the care info on each variety's page. In general, succulents need plenty of sunlight, rapid drainage, and deep but infrequent water.
LIGHT
Gradually acclimate your succulent to brighter sun over the course of one to two weeks after delivery. Sunny window sills, grow lights, and partial outdoor sun can help a succulent show its most vibrant pigments and maintain a healthy, compact form.
DRAINAGE
Re-pot your succulent into a container with a drainage hole. Use a gritty, well-draining soil to prevent rot. Many thick-leaved succulents grow well in rocky soils like Bonsai Jack Gritty Mix.
WATER
All succulents are adapted to drought and are prone to rot if watered frequently or left in damps soil. Only water when the soil is completely dry and the leaves are starting to feel more flexible. When you do water, most succulents want a deep drenching (enough that water runs out the pot's drainage hole). Pay close attention to any seasonal dormancy listed in a given variety's description. Succulents should be left dry during their dormancy period.
