Hey all!!! Just curious about how moist to keep my succulents soil, I live in San Diego, so the temperature never really changes and rain is a sometimes occurrence. My succulents are straight from the San Diego Botanic Garden and when I bought them at the Garden, they were moist but once I potted them together the soil dried cause of all of them feeding from the same pot. Is there a trick to knowing when to water and how much!?
I never put different varieties in the same pot — I find it never works out long term since they all have different needs. In SD so many of your outdoor plants are succulents & cacti so you can just put them outside and let them liiiive, they’ll thrive 😊
