Hi everyone! My friend got me a succulent for my birthday last year and I fell in love with it for some reason. So now I will be trying to grow a few different types of succulents from seed next week. Would love LOVE any tips and tricks you have. Please and thank you!

They like lots of light.

Less water is more!! Only water maybe once a week but check every two to see how the soil feels, mine like to get about %75 dried out, in the summer maybe every two weeks. That’s what works for me anyhow.
