I just got a Burros tail succulent the other day and every time I try to have a succulent it always dies! Any advice or tips would be helpful! It’s in a window sill with evening partial sun, planted in cactus soil and in a terracotta pot!

    I don’t have experience with this particular succulent, but I have several others. I think if you’re looking for general advice, there’s a lot out there - on this app, or elsewhere on the internet - so I’m not sure that I can provide any particularly unique or insightful tips. But in my experience, most succulents like lots of light (you may need a grow light to supplement, depending on the plant’s needs) and are VERY easily overwatered. My first few succulents died too, so I get it! Sometimes it’s a matter of trial and error. The last thing I’ll comment on is the soil - I think a lot of what’s marketed as “cactus soil” is still not ideal for succulents/cacti. I wouldn’t say you need to repot it from whatever it’s in now, just be mindful that it might retain water for longer than you want it to. If you give the plant more sunlight, it’ll dry faster! Good luck!

    I have a Burros tail too. I have had her a few years now. I just propagated/chopped and repotted all of my succulents in deeper pots, they were outgrowing the shallow pots I originally planted them in and they were getting leggy. I have them in a west window and they get lots of sun. I let it completely dry out between watering but pay close attention so they don’t go dry for too long.

    I kill a lot of succulents and cacti, but I have found terra cotta pots, like you have are better than plastic. The soil I’m using now is basically little gravel, like bonsai soil. They don’t seem to like lots of soil so the squat pots have worked better than tall ones. Extra soil holds extra water.

    Get a wooden chopstick. Slide down the side of the pot to the bottom when planta suggests watering. Check chopstick for moisture. DO NOT WATER until that chopstick comes out completely dry.

    More sun and less water than you’d think reasonable 😅
