Product description
Succulents are the perfect plant for forgetful gardeners. Succulent care is easy, and succulent gardens and terrariums can brighten any indoor space. Succulents survive dry indoor environments thanks to special adaptations - fleshy leaves, thick stems or enlarged roots - that allow the plants to hoard water. Most people are familiar with cacti, which are a type of succulent, but there are a host of other plants grown primarily for eye-catching foliage.
Please Note: When purchasing plants please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves. Collections or 'mixed' listings for plants will be selected dependant on availability and carefully hand-picked to ensure their quality.
House Plant Size Guide
House plants come in a wide array of shapes and sizes depending on the variety and maturity of the plant.
6cm/12cm/15cm/19cm/23cm nursery pots are the most common size of pot that they are sold in. This measurement is the diameter at the top of the pot.
12cm potted plants are the most popular providing great value for money and an instant impact. Larger plants that come in pots of 20cm+ are great for making a statement in any room and can represent years of growth to get to that level of maturity and size.

Top Tip
Place succulents in a sunny spot, as they thrive with plenty of light. Avoid overwatering, which can cause root rot. If unsure, wait a few days before watering again.
How to Water
Water succulents thoroughly but infrequently. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. During the growing season, water once every 1–2 weeks, and reduce watering in winter.
How to Plant
Plant succulents in well-draining soil, such as cactus or succulent mix. Use a pot with drainage holes. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball, place the plant, and backfill with soil. Avoid compacting the soil too much. Allow the plant to settle before watering.
