    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?

      Thank you so much! Iโ€™ll try putting her out in the sun during the day

      Oh donโ€™t put her outside in the direct sun immediately. Thatโ€™ll give her sunburn. If youโ€™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 itโ€™s normal for a succulent soil to dry out within 3 or less days, as theyโ€™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.
