I know cactus and succulent need very little watering but I moved my cacti to a less sheltered area last few month and they get a lot of rain (rainy season in south Florida) - so far they seem fine. Do you think it’s fine bc there are drainage holes and the sun dries it between afternoon showers? I also have agave and aloe and euphorbia you can’t see in picture

i would suggest buying a moisture meter on amazon, they are cheap and really help me w my succulents. i don’t water them until it’s at the driest level 1

I couldn’t agree more! Moisture meters are the #1 reason my plants are still alive.
