Hello Grace. I just looked at your plant info, and it says there is no drainage. If that is the case, you’ll want to repot using a succulent /cactus mix in a planter with drainage holes because overwatering succulents will kill them very quickly. I’ve done this way too many times, lol. πŸ˜‚ Also, how much sun is he getting? You definitely want full sun or a good grow light to supplement if he’s in dark place. Hope this helps helps a little. Good luck and happy growing! πŸͺ΄πŸŒ΅
@proffesorsprout Also, you shouldn’t take the watering advice on here too literallyβ€”I always feel the soil to make sure it’s time to water. Inserting a wooden chopstick into the pot and letting it sink all the way down, can help determine if it’s time to water. Just take out the stick, if it feels wet or has soil sticking to it, then wait a few days and check again. ☺️
Also use succulent soil it has nutrients and better drainage for succulents
hey @LaSiguanaba thanks for the advice!
@proffesorsprout Anytime! πŸ™‚
