water info |
This succulent is particularly prone to root rot if watered too soon, and it is generally better to let it sit dry if you are not sure it’s totally dry. It is from a winter growing region, so let it go even drier during summer months. It likes to be fully saturated and then go totally dry before the next watering. If the plant is in a small pot it will be heavy when well watered and lighter when it’s ready for a drink. Remember your watering schedule will depend on the size of the pot (smaller pots needing more frequent watering) and environmental factors such as the season, weather, humidity and exposure. Don’t leave succulents in standing water, such as a saucer, for more than a day. |
