Soil Use a well-draining potting mix that is specifically formulated for succulents or cacti. You can also make your own mix by combining equal parts potting soil, perlite, and coarse sand.

Watering When it comes to watering, remember that this plant is a succulent, so it likes to dry out between drinks. Stick your finger a couple of inches into the soil – if it feels dry, it’s time to water. Be sure to let the excess water drain out to avoid soggy roots.

Fertilizing During the growing season (spring and summer), give your plant a boost with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Once a month is plenty. No need to fertilize during the fall and winter months when growth slows down.
