In general with succulents, I've found that these are the three most important factors in keeping them alive: 1. Soil: Make sure you're using succulent/cactus soil that drains well. I killed two jade plants before I discovered that this was the main problem (a lot of big lot store-bought succulents come planted in the wrong soil). 2. Don't over-water: Most succulents don't need a lot of water and will rot pretty easily if you over-water. This app is generally pretty good at helping you stick to a healthy watering schedule, but if your soil is still damp by the time it tells you to water it again, skip it. 3. Bright Sunlight: Most succulents thrive best in direct sunlight or a full day of very bright, indirect sunlight (or bright plant lights). If your succulents are growing really fast and getting "leggy" or stretched out, it usually means they're hunting for more sunlight. Hope that helps!
