A dedicated grow light about 3-4 inches above the pot even if it’s in a window.

Shallow pot, tons of light and very little water!

thank you! what are some signs to look out for if they need watering?

Just make sure the soil is completely dry in between waterings. Use PlantyAnn’s skewer method! It’s a great way to check the soil for moisture.

The biggest mistake people make with succulents is watering too much and thinking they have enough light.

i have mine by a heater so it needs more frequent watering than it used to, i used to water once a month, using plantas watering schedule as a guide, i use a moisture meter every time before watering to check and see if the soil is fully dry, and also a fairly shallow pot since the roots are so delicate and they like to trail. now since it’s infront of a heater i’ve been noticing the pearls shrivel when it wants water, been trying to avoid this as it can stress the plant so keep that in mind! but she is 5+ feet long and i’m so proud of her

mines near a heater as well so i may try to keep it farther away under my grow lights still and keep that in as well. thank you!
