water info |
Summer growing succulent appreciates going mostly dry (but not totally dry) during summer. Avoid additional water during winter unless rains fail for a month or longer. This succulent likes to be fully saturated and then go totally dry before the next watering; you risk rotting the roots if you water while there is significant moisture in the soil. 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. Eventually older leaves will shrivel up. Once they are totally dry they come off with a light tug leaving a textured trunk. |
