How often do you water an African succulent?

How often should I water my succulents? Succulents should be watered only when the soil has dried out completely. There is no universal watering schedule that works for every succulent in every climate. Many indoor succulent growers find that watering 14-21 days is a good frequency to keep their succulents alive.

One may also ask, are succulents better in sun or shade?

While they appreciate a lot of light (and very few survive in full shade), most succulents need sun protection, especially if the temperature hits the 90-degree-mark, or if they’re small. Varieties that are solid green, pale, or variegated are most in danger of sun burn.

Moreover, how often should I mist my succulents? Spraying or misting the succulent or cacti plant is actually not helping the plant in any way, the goal is to direct the water towards the roots or base of the plant. Generally we recommend once every 10-14 day watering cycle for succulents and once every 14-30 days for cacti.

Secondly, why are the tips of my succulents turning brown?

The most common reason for brown leaves on succulents is sunburn or sun damage. If you’ve recently moved your plant to a bright location, or if you’ve recently had a heatwave or intense heat and you notice your plants have brown spots on their leaves, these spots are equivalent to sunburn.
