    Don’t strictly follow a watering schedule including the Planta notifications. Always verify the soil is very very completely dry! Leaves will look slightly wrinkled. Succulents hate excessive watering. Give them very bright indirect light and no full sun or they can burn.

    Bottom water them (if you don’t know what that means, look up “how to bottom water plants” on YouTube. It’s very easy and helps prevent overwatering and attracting pests) and only water them when the soil is dry. Repot it when the leaves get big enough to cover the top of the diameter of the pot or the roots start poking out of the drainage holes at the bottom, and NEVER use miracle grow soil. Ever. I highly recommend Espoma’s Organic Cactus and Succulent Soil. Put them in a bright windowsill or at least near your brightest windowsill. Hope this helps!

      And as Sunny said, use Planta’s reminders of when to water it as a suggestion for when to see if the soil is dry enough to water it. I water mine no earlier than every 10 days in the summer.
