Please tell me if my succulent is thriving or not? This is my third plant and it’s winter where I’m located. I just want to be a plant lady and have a good green thumb! What does it look like this may need?

Does your pot have drainage holes. Cacti require small amounts of water. Even though Greg may say it’s time to water I always test the soil to be sure it’s indeed dry. Also, I’m in New England so this time of year sunlight is hard to come by. I move my cacti east, south, west so they can soak in as many rays as available. They all seem to be thriving.

Definitely agree with Donna. I always use a chopstick deep in the soil to be sure it’s dry. A cactus needs very little water. They can go bone dry for a while. You want to error on the side of underwater. ￼

@Seedstarter · Answer

Most Cacti like direct sunlight and heat when possible. They are drought tolerant and prefer to go without water for a long time. It has a fake flower glued to it but it will grow it out by itself or you could attempt to take it off
