I would like to plant succulents indoors and outdoors but I have never had them before. Can you please explain how to plant them &amp; take care of them?

Cuttings are pretty simple. You will just plug, or plant the succulent in soil in a container with good drainage. Succulents should only be watered when their soil has completely dried. When you water them they don't need a ton of water. Better to under-water then over-water. Succulents prefer it warm and like sunshine but not too much intense, direct sun. Thanks for your interest!

You could...but I don't know how long they would hold up. Maybe succulents that didnt' require much water. I would look elsewhere for planters though.

If you have them plant them as soon as possible. You can even plant them in a flower pot with sand and keep them in a cool dark place until you can plant outside

I couldn't tell you what kind of plant to use on wall planter. Because I never got to hang mine up. They came to me broke and I didn't reorder them again. I bought something else. But I was just going to use artificial greenery in them. Hope that helps you decide, sorry I couldn't help more.

I'm sorry but I have yet to plant my seedlings. I've read about people cutting the coating off before planting and others just planting as is. I'm just going to plant as is, without cutting off the coating.

I'm not sure about the warranty but succulents are very hearty and can withstand a lot. I planted mine right away and gave them a good drink of water and they all survived well. I live in the desert where the heat of the day can get up to 120 degrees and they are all doing fine. They live outside in my living wall planters and I water them once a week, even in the heat. You will have to contact the vendor to see if they will guarantee them for you, but that was something I was not concerned about because of the strength of succulents. Hope this helps

Hi, I'd treat them like any other cactus. Indoors, bright direct light. Outdoors, since they're still pretty little, maybe not all day direct light until they're a bit bigger. Good luck.

Yes, this is what my wife purchased them for. However...and as Ellen G. stated, they need to get adequate sunlight. This was a problem in our house in the location where my wife intended. Another thing to beware of is the watering issue. With a wall design, one might use an array of small containers to hold the plants individually; it's likely that such containers won't have drainage holes. Be very careful with over-watering the plants without drainage to the soil else you will quickly find dead succulents from root rot!

Definitely go with the potted succulents. Succulents grow quickly, but you're looking for a WOW factor. You will pay more money up front, but the plants can be used for other things after the wedding. Have fun and congratulations!

Healthy succulents freshly cut will hold just fine for a week until they are put to use. Keep them in the shade until use or simply plug them in a little soil until you are ready to use them. Thanks for your interest!Shop Succulents

Our temps here in Mo are still swinging dramatically. 70s one day, 50s the next and night temps still dipping in the upper 30s and 40s -if I would order them now I'd go the pot route. If you live in the South and winter temps don't go below 50, I'd put right in the ground. I planted mine in large (very large) decoratine pots and moved into the garage over winter -our winter temps run in the minus temps and only the strongest survive. My friends who had these plants live in the deep South so I assumed they prefer and thrive with the warmer temps dspite their claim that they are Northern hardy Our temps here in Mo are still swinging dramatically. 70s one day, 50s the next and night temps still dipping in the upper 30s and 40s -if I would order them now I'd go the pot route.

They would survive indoors if they had plenty of light. Succulents like the sun because they are a cactus so plenty of sunshine in or next to a window would be fine. Remember they don't need a lot of water.

Stick them in dirt water till moist! Let completly dry before watering! The whole secret to succulent s is DONT OVER WATER! its better to over "dry out"then to over water they like bright light but only some can handle direct sun! Neglect them they love it! Thats the trick to orchids too!

I've never attempted to root a succulent as most I've ever dealt with happily self propagate. If I had to assume though, I would assume no. This hormone is meant to be used on woody stalks and most succulent plants don't have one.

Put your plants outside....the weather is great right now. That should take care of the fruit flies... The conditions in your house have provided a breeding ground for them. If you have other fruit and/or vegetables in your kitchen, put them in the fridge or get rid of them. and what do you mean by indoor pepper plants? Are these ornamentals? I do not use Safer on food I am going to eat. I use it on my flowering plants. If you want to use SOMEthing, mix up a little Dawn with some water...maybe half a teaspoon to two cups of water and spray with that. But getting your plants outside is more effective. Predatory insects will make short lives of the fruit flies... Put your plants outside....the weather is great right now. That should take care of the fruit flies...

I just planted some in my garden only a few days ago. so far nothing.. I did plant some in the house in those little green house plastic containers that come with the little dirt pods. they are already growing. took less than a week and they are already an inch tall.. the seeds I planted outside I water twice a day because it gets hot and dry quickly. I mixed garden soil and compost and steer manure into the garden. each seed is different as far as sun. So far I am happy with them.

Hi Wendy! You can grow them in pots - I started mine in pots and then planted them in the yard. They're really easy to grow.
