When it comes to succulents, the advice is often to wait until the leaves start wrinkling before watering. While this may be good advice for some succulents, it may also have a few annoying consequences. Not all succulents, not all the time but, this type of watering may sometimes have negative impact.
In this video i discuss why i don't wait until leaves shrivel/ wrinkle before watering and when it can be dangerous for the plant.

Yes! I have been watching your videos for a few months now, and I noticed that if I go by how fast the soil dries, all but a handful of varieties actually seem to LOVE water! If it's a hot and dry spell, I actually water the littles every day and the bigs every other day 🙈 (Sounds crazy I know, lol) and big oscillating fans. If it's cold with a lot of rain and dew and moisture in the air, I go a week or more. If it is going to rain for more than a few days, they get a plastic canopy. But I have seen so much GROWTH in the last couple months! Thank you!!

Honestly, i think the fans are a superb idea! 😀 👌 they will make such a difference for the touchy varieties. I find the growth is so much better when they get decent amount of water and also water the little babies every day during dry summers 🙌 tends to be a very controversial thing to talk about online 😅

I water some of my succulents every other day during the summer too, when I water outside. Sometimes every day when it's actually hot (ocean breeze keeps us on the cooler side, like 50s to 60s max year round cept for rare heat waves -- like this week where we got in the 80s). They're in the ground in loose soil, so they're mostly drying out between watering. Tho, the jades are in regular soil that probably is not completely drying out and still doing well. But it's jade. it's literally everywhere here, like one of the most common sidewalk plants. It's one specific type of jade mostly that I believe people just take cuttings and no one actually buys it. I left a two foot tall jade on the street today for someone to adopt. it has to be super tough based on how well it grows everywhere.

Watering tips is a tough one because it all depends on where you grow your succulents. There is not a “one size fits all” when it comes to watering. It depends on temperature and climate, what kind of pot you have your succulents growing in and also what kind of soil mix you are using. It’s a tough one to advise when you don’t know how a person is growing them. Thanks again for sharing your personal experience and advice! Appreciate you!

Great advice. There is no clear black or white answer to watering (any plant!). Climate, light source, length of light source, age of plant. Many factors to consider. Start with conservative watering, record how much you used and observe how the plant reacts. Adjust watering based on observations.

Your videos are really helpful. In my place, leaving succulent slightly (emphasis on slightly) dehydrated or wait till the potting mix dries out completely to water is the best to at least keep succulents alive, as my country is oceanic subtropical in the north and oceanic tropical in the south. The oceanic climates are humid year round. And the subtropical/ tropical climates are hot and rainy year round or in dry and rainy seasons. This means a much higher chance of rot, edema and fungal diseases to even native plants like water spinach (that can grow both on land and in shallow water areas like shoals). The few native succulents, that I know of, here are some Kalanchoe and purslane species, as well as species that stores up water in stems and leaves but aren't counted as succulents like Trandescantia. Since most of the succulents and cacti available in my country had been imported at some point in the past then propagated, it's more challenging to keep even the commonly tough ones like ghost plants during summer when it's scorching and often followed by a rain shower, often in the same day or in a week.😅 There are some locations with a more favorable temperate-like or drier terrestrial climate thanks to their higher elevations and distance from the sea. Domestic nurseries for succulents are often situated there. Lots of local succulent enthusiasts switched to cacti during summer as their less heat-resistant ones die off.

Uff, i feel you. It is so hard in scorching summer heat. Throw humidity in the mix and it can go downhill fast 😅 here nurseries that grow a good variety of succulents usually have very well ventilated greenhouses but it’s tricky once those succulents are sold to people that just want to grow them in gardens. So much depends on the location and variety of succulent when it comes to watering 😅

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. It's helps me. I'm from Florida. I'm having a problem with having a soil problem? Trying hard to find the right mix. My succulents are good. But I think they could do better. I've been mixing all kinds. Need help. Do succulents survive in sand? I'm not putting them in potting soil. I've enjoyed your straightforwardness. Help!

Florida is very humid climate so if you are growing outdoors you are going to need to use a very gritty soil mix. I’m in Minnesota and summers are very humid like Florida. I put my succulents in a gritty mix consisting of Turface, Pumice, and potting soil. I put like 10-20 percent of potting soil and the rest is gritty Turface and pumice. 50/50 mix of Turface and Pumice. And my succulents thrive outdoors. Personally I would not grow succulents in ONLY sand. It’s ok to add some sand into your gritty mix but I wouldn’t only use sand. Hope that helps.❤

Also to add, the reason I add 10-20 percent of potting soil is for nutrients.

Personally, i use succulent potting mix without putting anything else in and pretty much all of my succulents are happy with it. Some say growing in sand is good, but i’m not a huge fan. I’ll make a video next week about the potting mix i have and what’s in it. Hopefully, that will help you find something similar in Florida 🙂
