Question about my new Pickle Plant
I just picked this guy up yesterday. The woman I purchased my pickle plant from told me to make sure I keep the soil moist and mist. But I am finding conflicting care information online and to water once every 2/3 weeks after drying. What is the best way to care for my new baby? 🥒

The lady was incorrect! Do NOT keep it moist OR mist it!!
What you saw online is correct for succulents like this. I have a pickle plant that likes to be deeply water about once every 2-3 weeks like you saw. I really wait until it is super duper thirsty, and for these it’s obvious— their little leaves will become super wrinkled and bendy. I like to put mine in a dish that is larger than the pot, fill it to the brim of the pot, and let it soak for about an hour and then make sure it drains out fuuulllyyyyyy.
Also, be sure the soil is very gritty and right for succulents if you do it that way, and that it’s getting put into an airy, bright spot (:
