A substrate for succulents should be well permeable to water so that no water can accumulate after watering. This can be achieved by mixing 60% succulent soil (also called cactus soil) and 40% mineral components, such as gravel or perlite, lava rocks and some quartz sand.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe open-pored mineral components, perlites and granules support the airflow and crumb structure of the substrate, they store the nutrients and moisture but allow excess water to flow quickly after watering.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClimate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMini Joshua trees can tolerate freezing temperatures.

In fact, unless your soil is extremely poor, it may be best to avoid fertilizer at all. If you do need to add some nutrients to the soil, it is best to apply an organic fertilizer at half-strength during the growing season or a light layer of compost.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChemical fertilizers tend to cause stretching and flopping on taller varieties.

You can clean them up a bit after winter by removing any dead or damaged branches or foliage; this will also help keep your succulent healthy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor most Mini Joshua Trees, pinch new growth in spring to promote branching and shorter growth; this will help keep them from getting leggy and falling side ways. Look into bonsai style care for more info on this. Deadheading the succulent in fall isn’t necessary, as the flower heads provide fall and winter interest. If you don’t want seedlings from your Mini Joshua tree, the flower heads can be removed after blooming in summer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ecdt: succulent alley\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1283\/0763\/files\/original-8193E38B-C159-4D70-9C9C-71143C6310FD_2_7e14c49b-b78f-41ef-99eb-5bf2425ba3b4.jpg?v=1718569346\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1283\/0763\/files\/IMG_9170_fededff9-5fed-4a18-8cbf-bda64bad6823.jpg?v=1718569405\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1283\/0763\/files\/original-DE7C5E92-C325-4EDB-939C-3141C9421174_2.jpg?v=1718569154\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1283\/0763\/files\/original-86A5E351-E19E-4A36-9931-22FC3B980DA3.jpg?v=1718569382\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1283\/0763\/files\/original-3A8E894C-8D42-4EC8-B1B1-35AFB20E5BC9.jpg?v=1718569391\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1283\/0763\/files\/IMG_9166.jpg?v=1718569412\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1283\/0763\/files\/IMG_9171.jpg?v=1718569431\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1283\/0763\/files\/IMG_9056.jpg?v=1718569445\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1283\/0763\/files\/processed-48206C83-8CA2-442C-B359-F5DB8EB8B041_2.jpg?v=1718569493\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1283\/0763\/files\/IMG_9041_1.jpg?v=1718570275\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1283\/0763\/files\/IMG_9510.jpg?v=1719854156\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joshua Tree Candle Company","offers":[{"title":"XXLarge","offer_id":54371039543606,"sku":"66f21a501ad68","price":252.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large","offer_id":54371039576374,"sku":"66f21a4c651ee","price":25.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":54371039609142,"sku":"66f21a4d790e1","price":22.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small","offer_id":54371039641910,"sku":"66f21a4e578da","price":17.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0989\/4182\/9430\/files\/Screenshot_2024-09-05_at_4.07.33_PM.png?v=1785903576","url":"https:\/\/enclothin.com\/products\/mini-joshua-tree","provider":"enclothin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
