water info |
This succulent likes to be fully saturated and then go totally dry before its next watering. Each leaf is a little water tank that stores water for the plant. If you see leaves shriveling, your plant is thirsty. If drought persists the plant will use up the water in its lowest leaves and shed them. This is natural and not a sign that the plant is unhealthy. If given a consistent watering schedule (where the plant is watered as soon as it is dry) this plant will retain the lower leaves while pushing new growth. Watering when the soil has residual moisture increases the risk of root rot. 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. |
