My overwatering is an issue as I have the mindset of “water means growth”. I’d love a video of water needs for young succulents 🪴

1 a month in winter, every 2 weeks autumn/spring, every week in summer and even twice a week in extreme heat wave

@@joshhambleton90 thankyou Josh, that puts it nice and simply 👍🏽

Less is more for Succulents. I tend to wait until they start wrinkling at the leaves before I water again. Through growing season once a week is fine and dormancy, once every 2 to 3 wks.

Any suggestions for how to know if a hanging plant is over or underwatered such as string of pearls/tears, chain of hearts and burrows tail?

[@mickssucculents]

Hi Aleisha, yeah sure. If your hanging plants leaves are nice a firm and plump with water, then I would avoid watering. I also recommend using a moisture meter, which you can place into the potting mix and that will tell you or you can just use a bbq skewer. Underwater, leaves will look very wilted and squishy when squeezed. You can still use the moisture meter or bbq skewer to check moisture in the mix too. I hope that helps :)
