Q) Why are these mini succulents special?
A) Mini succulents are the smallest succulents you’ll ever see! They are genetically modified to remain small. 

Q) How big will these mini succulents grow into?
A) They are genetically modified to remain small. So even if they grow bigger, they will only be 30% larger.

Q) Normally after how long will I have to repot them? 
A) Different breeds grow at different pace. The faster-growing breeds will require repotting in 3-6 months. If they start to look uncomfortable in their original pot, you can repot them into a larger pot. For other breeds which do not grow so fast, they usually stay in the original pot for about one year or more. Please see below for the faster growing breeds:

Q) How do I repot it?
A) You may refer to the care tips video for “mini succulents” on our youtube channel. You have to remove the plant from the original white pot, and repot in “Rock” soil mix which you can purchase from our website or from shopee at $4.90. Or when you purchase your mini succulent, you can also choose the mini succulent+mica A pot+tiny rock mix bundle at $24.90. 


Q) Where can I place the mini succulent?
A) It comes with a sticky double-sided tape so you can paste it at a location with bright indirect sun. If the sticky tape gets dusty, wash it so it can become sticky again.

Q) How do I water it?
A) Submerge in water until water enters the 2 tiny holes at the sides of the pot. Soak for about 15mins every 2-4 weeks. Even if you forget to water, succulents are usually drought-resilient and they won’t die. They will only wrinkle.

Q) Which breeds are easier to care for?
A) The cacti breeds (those with spikes) are usually most resilient, followed by dark green breeds because those have more chlorophyll so they are less dependent on sunlight. You can see below for the resilient breeds, starting with the most resilient:

Q) Why is my pink succulent turning green?

You can consider getting stone rose as it has pink tones which does not go away under local weather:

Q) Can I repot them even if they are still small? 
A) Yes you can. 

Q) How do I water them once I’ve repotted them?
A) Our rock soil mix changes colour when it’s wet and it’s very well-draining, so it’s very suitable for succulents as over-watering kills them. You can water when you see the soil mix is light brown, indicating it’s completely dry. Water directly at the soil and avoid having water touch the plant.

Depends on the breed. Some grows fast and some grows slow.

Do not mist. Keep environment dry and cool.

No

Remove a healthy plant part and rest on a bed of rock soil mix (click for product url). It will grow buds and roots.

Wrinkle – It’s thirsty and time to water

Yellow and mushy – You’ve overwatered. Unfortunately once it’s rotten, it’s hard to save the plant. Cut off all rotten parts and only leave the healthy parts. 

Stretches – It’s normal to stretch as the plant reaches out for more light
