Quick facts

• Difficulty: beginner-friendly
• Light: bright, indirect. More light, fluffier and whiter
• Water: mist, don't soak. Every 10–14 days; weekly in dry heat. Must dry fast. Overwatering is how these die
• Soil: none
• Outdoors in USDA Zones 9–11
• Pet friendly

The fuzz is trichomes, tiny structures that pull water from the air. Perch it on driftwood, a shell or your coolest crystal. Soil is so last season.

Fresh out of the box: give it a 20–30 minute soak (mist only for fuzzy tectorum), shake it off, and let it dry upside down. No soil, ever.

Cold weather: heat packs are required November through February for the live arrival guarantee. Outside those months, if any stop on the route from California to you could drop below 50°F, add a heat pack. Plants are dramatic about frostbite, and honestly, fair.

Live arrival guarantee: if your plant shows up in rough shape, send us a photo within 48 hours of delivery. For an eligible claim we may provide a replacement when available, a refund to the original payment method, a partial refund, store credit, or care and recovery instructions when the issue is cosmetic or reversible. Heat packs are required November through February for the guarantee. Orders over $100 ship UPS or USPS with shipping insurance. Orders usually ship within a few days, Monday through Wednesday, so plants never sit in a carrier warehouse over a weekend (we may make an exception if you're close by, likely to receive it by Saturday, or the weather along the route is mild). Full shipping and refund policies are on our website. Every plant is nursery grown in California.
