Where Does it Come From?

We plucked this right out of the ocean and carefully, selectively bred it to survive on a simple tray of water. That’s right—this isn’t your average succulent. While most plants shy away from constant moisture, the Starfish Succulent thrives in it, embracing its oceanic origins.

Care Instructions

Lighting & Placement

This is a rare low-light succulent that is used to the filtered light of the ocean. You can place this plant anywhere in your home as long as it doesn't receive any harsh direct sunlight.

Soil & Repotting

You won’t need any soil for this succulent! Sounds crazy, right? Instead, you only need an assortment of pebbles and rocks for stability. Arrange them like a beautiful underwater garden, and your Starfish Succulent will feel right at home.

Watering

This succulent is used to a lot of moisture, so you will need to mist this beauty daily. A light misting mimics the ocean spray it once knew and loved, keeping it hydrated and thriving. If you notice it looking a little sluggish, consider adding a pinch of sea salt to the water for a refreshing boost.

How to Propagate

The Starfish Succulent propagates through limb regeneration! Just take a clean, sharp knife and cut an arm. The original plant will regrow the limb, and the new arm will start forming the rest of its new body within 2-3 months. If you listen closely, you might even hear it humming in approval (or mild annoyance) at the process.

Pests & Treatment

Starfish Succulents are carnivorous plants that will eat a lot of insects that like to hang out by standing water, such as mosquitoes. Think of it as your personal little pest control assistant! However, you’ll still need to watch out for pests like aphids and spider mites—treat with isopropyl alcohol if you see any.

Other Unique Features
