Baby Succulent Mix (4 Plants) 6cm Pot House Plants

🌵 Mixed Succulents — Set of 4 in 6cm Pots

This set of 4 mixed succulents in individual 6cm nursery pots is a charming and low-maintenance collection, perfect for windowsills, desks, gift sets, or as an easy-care introduction to succulent growing. Each plant is unique — you might find rosettes, upright forms, or trailing textures, offering a beautiful variety of colours and shapes. These compact succulents are ideal for styling individually in mini planters, grouping together for visual impact, or using in small gift baskets and party favours. As drought-tolerant sun-lovers, they thrive with minimal watering and a bright position, making them perfect for busy plant lovers or complete beginners.

☀️ Light Requirements

• Indoors: Loves bright, direct or filtered sunlight. A sunny windowsill or bright conservatory is ideal.

• Too little light: Can lead to stretched, leggy growth and faded colour.

• Tip: Rotate plants occasionally for even growth on all sides.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

• Ideal temperature: 18–28°C (65–82°F)

• Minimum temperature: Keep above 10°C (50°F); not frost-hardy.

• Humidity: Prefers dry air — avoid very humid rooms like enclosed bathrooms.

💧 Watering Needs

• Watering frequency: Water sparingly. Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings.

• Spring–summer: Roughly every 10–14 days, depending on heat and light.

• Autumn–winter: Water once every 3–4 weeks or less when dormant.

• Tip: Always err on the dry side — succulents store water in their leaves and dislike wet roots.

🪴 Soil & Potting Notes

• Soil type: Use a gritty, free-draining cactus or succulent mix. Add extra perlite or coarse sand if needed.

• Pot type: Each succulent is grown in a 6cm nursery pot — ready for potting into ceramic, terracotta, or decorative mini planters.

• Drainage: Ensure new containers have drainage holes, or use a nursery liner inside cachepots.

🌱 Feeding

• Growing season (spring–summer): Feed monthly with a diluted cactus/succulent fertiliser.

• Autumn–winter: No feeding required during dormancy.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

• Pruning: Not usually necessary. Remove any shrivelled or dry leaves at the base.

• Cleaning: Use a soft brush to gently remove dust from leaves, especially for rosettes or textured types.

🌾 Propagation

• Leaf or offset propagation: Many succulents can be propagated from leaf cuttings or baby plantlets (pups).

• Ideal for multiplying your collection or sharing with friends.

🐛 Pests & Problems

• Common pests: Mealybugs and aphids — usually on new growth or hidden leaf joints.

• Symptoms: White fluff, sticky residue, distorted growth.

• Treatment: Treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap. Isolate affected plants if necessary.

• Common issues:

  • Rotting or mushy leaves: Caused by overwatering.

  • Stretched stems (etiolation): Due to low light — move to a brighter location.

🧤 Toxicity & Safety

• Toxicity: Varies depending on species. Many are non-toxic, but some (e.g., Euphorbia) can cause irritation if touched or ingested.

• Precaution: Keep out of reach of pets and children unless varieties are known to be pet-safe.

🏡 Display & Styling Tips

• Perfect for:

  • Mini ceramic pots, terracotta planters, or decorative cachepots

  • Grouping together on windowsills, bookshelves, or plant stands

  • Gifting — great as favours, desk plants, or additions to curated plant bundles

• Add top dressing like small pebbles or decorative gravel for a polished finish

• Pairs beautifully with other mini trailing plants like String of Pearls or Haworthia for texture contrast
