Notes
How do I take care of my succulents?
- Do not over water. Succulents can be watered once a week and sometimes less. Let the soil dry out before watering and don’t add too much water as there is no drainage hole in the container.
- When you want to remove them from the pumpkin, you can leave them in the container or replant them in a larger container to allow them to grow.
- Succulents prefer at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day, so put in a sunny location.
