Growing Succulents! Advice welcome.

Below are the current succulents I have! I generally have a black thumb, but I'm trying to change that. Any gotchas to keep in mind when taking care of succulents? I already learned the hard way that I need to keep the dwarf jade indoors because direct sun causes the leaves to brown.

  • I think it's a me problem but the images aren't loading. WiFi has been garbage today lol.

    Succulents in general like to dry out between waterings. Most of them you can't watch for them to wrinkle, that's when I water them. You can bottom up water by taking your well draining pot and putting it in a bucket of water or your sink or whatever and let the water slowly fill from the bottom.

    • Oh no worries! The succulents I have are a split rock, dwarf jade, panda plant, echeveria elegans, and I forget the name of the last one but it looks spiky (I'll look it up later). Three of them are in classic terracotta pots with the single large hole in the bottom, so I could likely do the bottom-up watering method with those :)

      • Oh those are fun! I don't get enough sunlight for succulents :( I've got a few clinging to life with a very expensive plant light but, I don't think I'll be getting more unless I move.
