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? Please if anyone knows please let me know!! 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?

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!
