This plant thrives off bright light and well-draining soil conditions. We recommend placing your plant on a sunny window ledge so they can get at least 6 hours of sunlight a day. If you live in growing zones 9 and 10, you can plant your succulent in your garden, as long as the temperatures where you live never drop below 20 degrees.

How to Care for Calico Hearts Plants
After you purchase your Calico Hearts Plant, be sure to read the recommended care instructions to ensure your plant stays happy and healthy for years to come!
How Much Water Does My Calico Hearts Plant Need?
Calico Hearts plants are hypersensitive to overwatering. We recommend using the "soak and dry" method with this succulent. This method requires you to allow the plant's soil to dry out completely before watering. Once all the soil is dry, you should water your plant thoroughly. Soak the soil and allow all excess water to drain out. If your plant is not in a container with drainage holes and a well-draining potting mix, your Calico Hearts will get root rot.
What Kind of Soil Does My Calico Hearts Plant Need?
In order to thrive, your Adromischus maculatus succulent must be in well-draining soil conditions. This plant is susceptible to root rot disease. Any cactus potting mix would be an excellent choice for this succulent. Always allow your plant's soil to dry out completely before watering. You can also add more drainage support by placing rocks at the bottom of the container before putting them in the potting mix.
Do I Need to Fertilize My Calico Hearts Succulent?
Feed your succulent Calico Hearts with a fertilizer specific for cacti and succulents. We recommend fertilizing your plant between March and September and never during their growth dormancy period. Also, always fertilize your succulent when its soil is damp. You can do this by watering your plant thoroughly the day before you fertilize. Fertilizing your Calico Hearts plant is not extremely crucial for their success, but it does help with nutrient intake.
How Much Sunlight Does My Calico Plant Require?
This particular succulent loves bright sunlight. Cactus Hearts plants will also do well in full sun, light shade, or partial shade. They thrive the best in the summer because of all the sunshine. These succulents are drought-tolerant. The best place to put your houseplant is near a window the receives tons of sunlight throughout the day. We recommend at least 6 to 8 hours of bright light each day for optimum growth.
