# Can someone confirm if I am overwatering this plant please. I water…

_Posted by Jonie on 2024-08-09_

Can someone confirm if I am overwatering this plant please. I water on schedule. Maybe I don’t have it in a sunny enough spot? I’m new at succulents and not having much luck with them. Thanks for the advice!

I and many others use the app schedule as a guideline, not a strict schedule we have to follow. I generally don’t water any of my succulents or cacti unless the entire soil is dry. I’ve never personally kept the plant in photo though, so I’m not sure the exact watering needs

I find I usually struggle with sunlight for my succulents. Planta says to water mine approximately every two weeks, I usually check the soil before I water with a chopstick and if it’s dry, I’ll water it. I might also skip every second water, I’d rather they be a little dry.

Thank you for the advice! I will check soil first and get myself a grow light 🙏🏻😁

I struggled with this one as well. Found him to be much happier on the porch with bright indirect light and less watering.
