Turn it around and add more in the back so it's interesting on all sides :) water only occasionally when soil is very dry. Succulent plants store water in their leaves and therefore need little care.

The less water the better, succulents are difficult to grow

Use Cacti soil mix thing. And don't water until it looks like the dirt is really dry.

Hey ppl, I need help. I replanted my succulent and they are sick nw.. They are fine in the first two days after the replanting.but starting on the third day, some of them seems to absorb too much water and become transparent. And looks like I can't do much to help nw. The soil I used is a mixture of normal soil and its original potted soil. I watered after replanting.can anyone help?
