Succulents should be watered based on the "soak and dry" method: thoroughly soak the soil until water drains out, then wait for the soil to dry completely before watering again

. The frequency depends on whether they are indoors or outdoors, the climate, and the season. General watering guidelines:

• Indoor succulents: Water approximately every 10 to 14 days, ensuring the soil is dry an inch deep before watering again

. Some sources suggest about once a week indoors, but always check soil moisture first

• Outdoor succulents:
  • In warm, dry climates, water every 5 to 7 days.
  • In cooler or more humid climates, water every 2 to 3 weeks

• Seasonal adjustments:
  • During active growth (spring to fall), water once every 7 to 10 days

* In winter or dormancy, reduce watering to once every 3 to 4 weeks or even monthly, especially if temperatures are below 40°F (4°C)

Additional tips:

• Avoid watering the leaves directly to prevent rot; water at the base to reach roots

• Check soil moisture by feeling about an inch deep; if dry, it's time to water

• Succulents with smaller leaves may need more frequent watering since they store less water

• Signs of underwatering include wrinkled or soft leaves; overwatering can cause yellow or droopy leaves

In summary, water your succulents thoroughly but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings, with typical indoor watering every 1-2 weeks and outdoor watering varying from weekly to every few weeks depending on climate and season
