Succulents

The art of neglect

Succulents want to be forgotten. Water deeply, then leave them alone until the soil is bone dry — two weeks is normal.

Care card

light   full sun, 6+ hours
water   every 14 days, soak + dry
soil    gritty cactus mix
bonus   they tell you when thirsty (wrinkled leaves)

Watch for

Mushy, translucent leaves are rot from overwatering. Stretched-out spacing means it's reaching for light.
