How to care for your plant
Plantlets: Use well-draining succulent or cactus soil. Lay the plantlets flat on top of the soil; don’t bury them. Give them bright, indirect light. Leave them dry for the first few days, then mist lightly once a week.
Leaf cuttings: Lay the whole leaf on the soil and mist lightly. The plantlets will root where they sit. Once they’re big enough, gently move each one to its own pot.
Arrangements (Mother of Thousands + Gasteria): Same soil and light. Water sparingly and let the soil dry out between waterings.
Safety: Mother of Thousands is toxic to cats and dogs if nibbled, so keep it away from curious pets and grow it potted and indoors. In warm climates, please don’t plant it outdoors. It’s aggressive outside its pot.
Shipping & pickup
Local pickup: Alexandria, LA, arranged by message. Pay with Venmo @laceewalters, Cash App $LaceeWalters, or cash.
Shipped orders: USPS Ground Advantage with tracking, $11 shipping, through the Marketplace listing. Your plant is packed on damp organic cotton in a clamshell that clicks shut, tucked into a box and wrapped for the trip, with a live-plant sticker. Plants aren’t picked until just before they ship.
Ship days: Monday and Tuesday, early in the week so plants never sit in a warehouse over the weekend. If an order comes in while we’re away, we’ll tell you the ship date up front, so no paid order sits unshipped without a date.
