Sedum 'Little Missy'

Little Missy is an evergreen perennial succulent of the genus Crassula in the Crassulaceae family, and they are originally from the continent of Africa.  

They have leaves that are grey-green and have margins that are pink and pale green in color. They have pink flowers that grow usually during summer to early fall. 

These plants are drought-tolerant, and there’s not much that needs to be done to care for them. 

Care Tips

Light: They like to be in full sun to slight shade. 

Water: They like to get rainwater or be watered from time to time. These plants don’t need more than 1 inch of water each week for them to do well. 

Soil: It is best to use well-draining soil. 

Potting: Repot these plants every 1-2 years. As they grow, they should be moved to a bigger pot. 

Temperature: During the summer, it prefers temperatures of 65-75°F (18-25°C). It would be ideal if the temperature doesn’t go below 50-55°F (10-12.7°C). Keep the plant inside if it’s freezing outdoors.

Humidity: Little Missy doesn’t need humidity, but they can survive in humid climates.

Shipping & Handling

• The 2 Inch Sedum 'Little Missy' plants are shipped with the pot and soil

• Please visit Order Processing & Shipping info page for additional details
  

Care Instructions

Please visit our Succulent Care info page for more details.

To ensure the health of succulents, it is important to plant them in porous, well-draining soil. Succulents require little watering, but don't like to sit in wet soil. To create an adequate cactus mix, simply add pumice, perlite, or grit to cactus soil to provide the proper drainage.

Make sure to leave drought periods between waterings to prevent the plant from water-logging.

Weather Conditions

• When ordering, be mindful that living succulents can be damaged by the cold weather.
• If you live in an area that is below 40 degrees Fahrenheit, please add a shipping warmer to your order or consider purchasing plant until the weather is more suitable.
• Shipping Warmer: 72+ Hours Heat Packs available for $1.7 each

Packaging & Handling

Vast majority of our plants shown in 4" pot and above are shipped bare roots.

Most plants shown in 2" pots are shipped in their original plastic pots with soil because they are small and are less subject to damaging during transit.

When a shipping box contains multiple plants, we carefully wrap each individual plant in paper, then fill the remaining space in the box with newsprint paper, air pillows, or crinkle paper to ensure the plants don't move around during shipping, and hence minimize shipping shock.

Shipping with Pots

The plants listed below are shipped with the pot and soil to ensure that they can stay healthy through transit:

• Most plants shown in 2" pot (exclusion applies, some 2" plants are shipped bare root to provide better protection)
• String of Pearls in 2" and 4" pot
• Variegated String of Pearls
• String of Hearts
• Variegated String of Hearts

Shipping Bare Roots

Shipping bare roots and soft paper wrapping provide the following benefits:

• Prevent broken parts, fracture, scuffing, and fallen nodes/leaves
• Minimize residual moisture within the package
• Prevent soil getting into the leaves and causing a big mess
• Reduce shipping weight and the cost that our customers pay

Shipping Practices

In order for our plants to arrive at your front door in great condition, we have established the following shipping practices to ensure a safe arrival: 

• The succulents are removed from their nursery pots, stripped of their soil, and set aside to dry if necessary.
• Each succulent is then wrapped in paper to protect them during transit. It serves two purposes; a) to protect the plants from one another and b) to wick away any residual moisture from the root system.
• The wrapped plants are then packed into a cardboard shipping box. The voids within the box are filled with eco-friendly newspaper and magazine paper, in order to prevent movement of the plants within the box, and hence minimize shipping shock.

While this process requires a significant time investment, we feel it's the best way to demonstrate our commitment to delivering high-quality plants in great condition.

We handpick the succulents and only ship out the most beautiful and healthy specimens. If you have any concern about the health and shape of your plants, please contact us immediately. We are always here to answer your questions.

Shipping Rates

Our shipping rates are calculated based on the total weight of purchased items.

If your order is over 1 lb, USPS First Class Package would not be available and USPS Priority Mail is offered.

With USPS Priority Mail and UPS services, the shipping rates will be charged at the next full pound rounded up. 

For example, if the current items in your cart weigh 1.2 lb, you could add more plants to your cart up to a total weight of 2 lb without incurring extra shipping cost.

Here are some weight range for different sizes of plants. The actual weight for each item might vary:

2" Plants - 0.15 - 0.2 lb each

4" Plants - 0.3 - 0.4 lb each

6" Plants - 0.5 - 0.7 lb each

8" Plants - 0.7 - 1.2 lb each

Order Processing

Plant orders are shipped within 1-3 business days from the date of purchase. We thank you for your patience as we are always working as hard as possible to pack and ship your orders.

The reason why order processing could take up to 3 business days is because when plants are removed from the soil in preparation for packaging and shipping, we need to wait for the plants and roots to dry out. This can ensure that they can stay healthy over the course of transit.

Occasionally, additional processing time may be required for restocking inventory between our nursery and store.

Additional processing time may be required during Sale or Promotional periods due to above average order volume.

If you need your order urgently, please contact us via chat or support@succulentsdepot.com to inquire about estimated handling time before you make your purchase.  

Combined Shipping

If you place multiple orders within a short time frame, we may combine your orders and ship all your items in one package. A refund is not automatically given because each order requires time and labor to process, and in many occasions, combined shipping cost is only marginally lower because of the increase in shipping weight or possible Priority Mail shipping upgrade.

Shipping Methods and Transit Time

We ship our plants Monday through Friday, all twelve months of the year.

We partner and ship our orders with multiple major USPS carriers, including USPS, FedEx, UPS, and DHL. During the checkout process, you could select the shipping service that you prefer, and we'll try our best to accommodate your request. When we ship out the orders, there are cases that we might change and upgrade your shipping service to 2 day shipping, such as FedEx 2Day Express, without further notice.

Please note that these shipping times are simply estimates and may take longer than anticipated. Succulents Depot has no control over what happens to packages after they are in the possession of the shipping carrier. If your order takes longer than the expected due to a mishap with the shipping carrier, don't panic; succulents are very hardy and can handle shipping durations of a week to 10 days quite easily.

Receiving and Opening Your Package

While meticulously packaged, the plants might still be unhappy with being in a dark box for a long time. Therefore, some may look slightly dull and wilted. Therefore, right after you receive the package, open it immediately.

Carefully and gently remove the packing materials. Don't put the plants in sunlight immediately. These are greenhouse grown succulents, so they need to get acclimated to sunlight gradually. Keep them in shade or indirect sunlight, and slowly introduce them to direct sunlight.

Give the plants a few days to recover, then repot if necessary and start watering. If you receive the plants bare root, immediately pot them in succulent and cactus soil mix, then follow the same instructions above. The plants should perk up after getting a good soak from watering.

Shipping in Summer

It is the responsibility of customers residing in areas subject to extreme heat waves to plan the shipments until the weather is safe for shipping. Please leave a note in your order or contact us to postpone or reschedule your shipments. Extremely high temperature can cause the plants to rot and die. Make sure to retrieve the packages as soon as they are delivered. Don't let the packages sit under direct sunlight for more than an hour.

Plants may be slightly larger or smaller than the pot they are grown in, depending on availability or time of year. Sedums such as Cherry Tart and Lime Zinger are dormant in the winter, i.e. they wilt, start dropping leaves, and look dead. It's simply a survival mechanism that help succulents stay alive over the cold winter and gear up for warmer days ahead.
