I water mine every time the soil is dry and if it sucks it all up by the end of the day I do it again.

Photos? Watering needs can depend on the size of the plant. Larger succulents needs less frequent watering. Clay pots dry out the soil requiring more water per month. lighting amount drives photosynthesis causing the plant to use more water. Plants slow growth in colder months requiring less water than normal.

I recommend watering after the soil dries and the plant is showing signs it’s thirsty. Use a watering schedule as a reminder to check if the plant needs water. 🪴🍀
