Help!!! 🙏🙏  
This is Saturn, 🪐  
Saturn looks really droopy, I’ve tried watering less, and watering more, the soil dries out really quickly, it’s drying out in around 3 days and I do not know what to do !!  
Is she okay?

Thank you 🫶🫶

Saturn is a succulent so she can go a while being fully dried out. Watering more often is almost never the answer for these. Also she looks a little etiolated/stretched out, do you have a brighter window available?

#### McCartney replied on 2024-09-15

Thank you so much! I’ll try putting her out in the sun during the day

Oh don’t put her outside in the direct sun immediately. That’ll give her sunburn. If you’re going to put her outside you need to acclimate her to direct sun with a couple hours of morning sun and then gradually increasing.

Agreed. Succulents enjoy their soil drying out to the point of being bone dry before watering. And it’s normal for a succulent soil to dry out within 3 or less days, as they’re built to be well draining to prevent root rot. As for lighting, you can just move her to a brighter windowsill as a safer transition. Succulents like a south window, or one that gets 6-7+ hours of sunlight every day. If none of your windows get more than 2-4 hours a day, you could try getting a grow light for her. Hope this helps!

Echeveria need grow lights even in a bright window. The glass defracts a lot of the light.
