Best Locations For Growing Baby Toes Succulent

The best location for this succulent is near a window that receives plenty of bright sunlight. Light from a south-facing window would be ideal for this plant.

Baby Toes Succulent Sunlight Requirements

Baby Toes Succulent Care

Use a sandy, well-draining potting mix for Baby Toes. You can blend a succulent soil yourself by mixing equal parts pumice, perlite, coarse sand, and potting soil. This type of soil will allow the plant to dry out more quickly. These plants appreciate dry, hot climates.

Watering Baby Toes Succulent 

Only water this drought-tolerant plant if the soil is completely dry. You can tell if your Baby Toes needs water if you see the tips of the leaves getting wrinkly. When you see wrinkles, give your plant a long drink of water until you see drips coming out of the pot’s drainage hole. These plants are dormant in the summer, so water them sparingly during this time.

Feeding Baby Toes Succulent 

Baby Toes succulents are sensitive to over-fertilization. Although they don’t require regular fertilization, you can fertilize them during their growing season with a balanced fertilizer diluted to half the recommended strength to help encourage strong growth. The active growing period for Baby Toes is fall through spring.
