Does anyone have little tips for a new succulent owner? I’ve been caring for cacti for a while now, but never succulents. They are all outdoor.

If you’ve got cacti down, it should be easy to care for succulents too. They’ll want to be watered a little bit more often than a cactus, but it’s still better to underwater them than to overwater with them. Most types will get a little wrinkly or soft (but not mushy) when they’re ready for water

So I’m a gonna give a different answer. I’m not schooled in plants. My opinion is succulents are way more needy.  
\- Need more light.  
\- Need less light.  
\- Need more water.  
\- Need less water.  
\- Need fertilization.  
\- Need no fertilization.

Soo confusing. 😖

A cactus. (Toothpick, Prickly Pear, Cows Tongue, Firestick or Pencil, even Red Dragon when you get the hang of them, all if them tolerate human oops.

Succulents, they are finicky and pushy.

—— New Succulent To The House ——

Succulent: This is my spot? No. Not enough light. I need more.  
Succulent: This spot? No. Baby can’t burn her skin with all that light.  
Succulent: If this is the best you’ve got then it’ll have to do. Can I get a drink please.  
Succulent: Hold on now. You’re getting me all wet. Stop it.  
Succulent: Where are you going? I said I was thirsty. I just don’t want to be watered.  
Succulent: I’m a little hungry too. Have anything to eat?  
Succulent: No. I can’t eat that. Stop. Ok that’s enough. I don’t like that General Plant food. Just get out.

Me: {whispers} Here kitty kitty. Look in there a new plant to play with.

Succulent: {Yells} Oh and I hope you have no pets. I can’t stand them dogs always lifting their legs and them dumb cats thinking we’re animals to be caught and eaten.

Me: {yells} Nope. Not one pet in this house. {whispers} Right cause I’ve got two, you two. Now go welcome the new succulent to the house.

— The End—
