Growing Instructions:
Full sun, Moderate to low water Alluaudias thrive in full sun, or brightly lit locations and well-draining soil – like cactus mix. Care for Alluaidia is similar to caring for other succulents, such as avoiding freezing temperatures and over-watering. Alluaudias will do best with good air flow and soil that is not kept constantly wet over an extended period of time. You may fully soak the soil when you water, just allow it to dry out completely before you water again. When fertilizing its recommended to dilute to ¼ of the recommended amount on the label. It's not uncommon for the plants to drop all of its leaves during the winter months, more so outdoors and exposed to the cooler temperatures. Just reduce your scheduled watering, and pick it back up once the leaves start to sprout again. Do not expose to Hard freezes – established plants will tolerate near 32°F (0°C) for short periods.
Ships in the 3.5” pots shown in the pictures. You will receive a plant that is very similar to the plants pictured however they may have grown some or depending on the time of year, they could be semi-dormant. Some plants will drop their leaves in winter - Crown of Thorns, Buddha Belly Jatropha, Etc. I have only grown plants in Florida and will send out anything I feel comfortable will grow here. It is up to you to know the conditions that these plants grow in the part of the country you reside. If your plant arrives rotting or dead, we will replace it for you. Please contact me with photo proof within 24 hours of delivery of your plants. It is my commitment to provide you with a live, healthy plant. Please note that minor cosmetic damage, such as a few broken leaves or small stems, may occur during transit and is a common risk inherent in the shipping process. Again, we cannot guarantee that some leaves won’t be broken or fall off- It is normal to lose some depending on the variety (Sedum, Echeveria, Cotyledon, Graptopetalum, etc...). Many kinds of leaves will re-root and grow into a new plant. Some that do not are Cotyledon and Aeonium. After 24 hours, my job is done and it is up to you (The buyer) to know how to keep it alive.
Heat packs are available for purchase with your item to use if cold weather is expected at the time of shipment. (Link to Heat Pack: bit.ly/40ugd4J ) Keep in mind some plants we carry are very tropical and even cold, not freezing, temperatures can kill them. I will cancel any order I feel won't make it safely to its destination without freezing. 📌IF YOU EXPECT COLD WEATHER, PLEASE PURCHASE A HEAT PACK! 📌 I don't make any profit off of them because they are a necessary shipping item in winter.
