If you want to keep your succulents good looking, make sure you water them at least once a week, but be careful not to over-water them. We suggest you to test if the soil is dry by sticking a finger or two into the mix down to your knuckles. If it is dry, you can water. Shrinking, puckering, or dull leaves is another sign to water.
