For my tiny little succulents, I poke  
my mister in the dirt and spray! I’ll do this 4x each plant

Give your plant a chance to soak, at least once in a while. Top watering alone doesn’t always do it.

Great tip!!

I like to pick up the pots and feel their weight before watering, and use chopsticks to check soil moisture

#### Morgan Picillo 🖤 🌿 antwoordde op 2026-02-05

Love this!! I also checked the way of some of my plants! It helps!

Sometimes I am lazy and don't water them all the way through because I am tired or don't have time. The next time I water those plants I can see they're a little drier, so I give them a good soak. It shouldn't work this way, but I swear they prefer my inconsistent treatment.

Whatever works to keep them happy 💚

Maybe once a month, I give my babies a 50/50 water/peroxide mixture to help oxygenate the soil. It also helps if there are pests forming.
