Succulents Don't Need Frequent Watering
Because succulents store water in their leaves and stems, overwatering is actually the most common cause of trouble, not underwatering. Watering thoroughly only after the soil has completely dried out is the key to keeping succulents healthy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do my succulent's leaves turn mushy and fall off?
This is usually caused by overwatering β watering too often or using a pot with poor drainage can cause root rot, leading to this symptom.
How much sunlight do succulents need?
Most need bright indirect light or a few hours of direct sun a day; too little light can cause the stem to stretch out and look leggy.
