Plant shops please use your letterhead to request our wholesale list. We are primarily a retail nursery but several times a year we have a selection of plants that we wholesale. Unwrap them carefully and lay them out in subdued light in a warm, airy place while you get your potting materials together. It is best to trim back some of the roots as the small, dried ends will no longer function and are of no use to the plants. As is the case with the stemless types such as Lithops, the dried leaves that may be on your plant when shipped are best left on as they help prevent abrasion of the new skin and possible subsequent infection.
Most succulents do best in a well-drained growing medium.
Bagged 'cactus mix' is suitable or regular potting mix can be added to an equal volume of small gravel or best, pumice. The main requirement is a porous soil that drains quickly. Good drainage is essential so make sure to use pots with drainage holes. When potting, have your mix only slightly moist so that when the pot is tapped on the bench, the soil will settle around the roots of the plant. Water in lightly, only enough to insure good root contact, and place in a semi-shady spot for a day or two, gradually moving the plants to a sunnier location.
