# Hey guys! I went to water my succulent, and the dirt was visibility…

_Publié par Olivia le 2023-06-16_

Hey guys! I went to water my succulent, and the dirt was visibility separated from the pot. After I watered it, the whole plant and all of the dirt briefly floated as water filled the pot. Is this simply due to underwatering? Have I killed my succulent?

I’d say it was thoroughly dry. I don’t know much about most succulents but I don’t think this will kill it this one time. Maybe Planta will guide you on when to water—probably a day or so before you got to it.

Add some more soil to fill the gap and don’t let it get as dry next time. Much better underwater than overwater and I think it will be fine.
