@AguaViviente Thanks for your good comment! For watering for all my succulent I go with good old “soak and dry” method, I water probably once a week when the weather is warm and once in 2-3 weeks in winter. Also I watch the soil and the plant by itself- I try to keep the soil dry for a long time and watch the leaves, as soon as I see wrinkles on the leaves = time to water! ☺️ I guess Chalkie in his growing season now … he just likes me and I do not do anything special for him, except the new bigger pot… ;)
@AguaViviente also I try to follow Greg’s recommendation for watering, but sometimes I disagree with Greg ☺️☺️😝
@vvvelo chalkaticks are definitely in growing season! I picked up a stray "cutting" from the side walk of a building that had broken off the mother plant. Took it home and it already grew about an 1/8 more in just a 3 weeks! I was watering mine about every 4-5 days... but how that's its rooted I've backed off to every 10 days or so.
@vvvelo Question for you. Would you put chalkaticks in a south facing window or outside on a west facing deck where it will get 5-6 hours of direct sun? I have either option but finding mixed opinions online. I want to keep mine in pot not landscape, I guess a lot of people use them for So Cal landscapes out here so the growing is a bit different when your doing that. Mine has been on a south-facing windowsill for a month since planting from the cutting but thinking of making a slow intro to the deck. Thoughts?
@roxyvivien what about watering I would recommend you to watch leaves. If you noticed wrinkles on the leaves - it is time to water 💦 Then you can develop your watering schedule for this plant. Unless you add it to Greg and will follow its instructions.
