Questions & Answers
Popular Questions
• Staff Answer
Succulents show their best colors when they are slightly stressed. Giving it more sunlight and less frequent water will bring out more of its red pigments. Once a week watering is too frequent for most succulents grown indoors.
Do note, many succulents change colors seasonally and naturally lower light levels in winter can turn a plant more green. But they get vibrant colors back in the spring!

This could be an issue of underwatering. It may need a drink!
We try to ship plants with dry soil because that reduces the risk of rot, but that means that your plant hasn't received any water for a long time. Between the stresses of drought and repotting, it makes sense that your plant is turning yellow and shedding leaves.
Go ahead and give it a little water and, if it isn't doing better in a few days, email us at info@mountaincrestgardens.com with the following information:
1) Growing conditions (full sun, part sun, filtered sun, indoors, outdoors, etc.)
2) Soil used for planting
3) Watering schedule… See full answer »

It's possible they're drying up from not getting a deep enough soaking. But we have also seen moisture meters cause people to water their succulents too frequently. Even if a moisture meter reads dry, it's best to wait to water until the leaves show signs of thirst. Yellowing can also be a sign that a succulent is not getting enough sunlight. If you got the 'Ruby Slippers' from us and want a more accurate diagnosis, feel free to email us a photo of the issue at info@mountaincrestgardens.com along with the answers to the following questions:
1) Growing conditions (full sun, part sun, filtered sun, indoors, outdoors, etc.) 2) Soil used for planting 3) Watering schedule 4) Does the container have a hole for drainage?

If the plant comes in a 2" pot, I'd plant in a pot that's, at least 3.5" deep. However, I wouldn't plant it in a pot that's deeper than 5" to start. Haworthia like their roots to be a little tight so be sure not to over pot it at first.

The only issue with porch shades is that they're frequently too shady. If you erected some kind of shade using shade cloth designed for plants, that could help. You wouldn't need it to be too shady, roughly 30%-40% would do the trick.
However, 65°F isn't too cold for many succulents. Especially once the radiant heat from direct sunlight in an south facing window is factored in, that you wouldn't feel in the air. The issue may have more to do with humidity than temperature. Looking at the relative humidity predictions for Stone County (just as an example) it's suppose to get over 70% in the near future! This makes watering more tricky as plants don't dry out nearly as quickly as they should and rot can set in as a result.
If your house is less humid than it is outdoors, then moving them inside may do them more good than shade cloth outside. In fact, shade cloth may only further prolong drying and exacerbate the problem.

Your best bet are low light succulents. They'll get some morning sun but no more. Click the link below to see all our low light succulents.

Shop Succulent Soil Here
Succulents need grittier soil than other plants because they are adapted to dry conditions and store water in their leaves. Regular potting soil mixes stay damp for long periods of time, which can cause rot in succulents. Instead, use a sandy, well-draining soil so you can water thoroughly without leaving your succulent in standing water.

Our plants can be transplanted immediately upon arrival.
If you want to wait to transplant, they can remain in their original containers for up to a month. If the pots came in a plastic carrier tray, remove the pots from the carrier tray prior to the first watering.
Keep the plants indoors near a sunny window or outdoors under a roof (only if outdoor temperatures stay above your succulent's minimum hardiness temperature). Water only after the soil is fully dry by drenching from above with a faucet, hose, or watering can. Gently shake excess water from the leaves and allow containers to drain completely.

Fertilizing is not necessary, but it is a good option for succulent growers who want to encourage faster, larger growth. It can be used on mature plants with established roots. Only fertilize in the growing season (spring and summer for most varieties) to avoid weakening or burning dormant plants. Use a light touch and make 2-3 applications of low-Nitrogen, diluted fertilizer each year (N-P-K ratio around 5-10-10). You can find specially-formulated cactus / succulent fertilizers in most garden centers or go organic with compost tea or bone meal.
Example: Miracle-Gro Quick Start, diluted to half strength
