@Succulentfun @plantGuyIQ since all climates and environments are different, the soil will dry out at different rates. A better guideline than following any type of schedule is to water it only when the soil has completely dried out. These are desert plants, so they'll rot if they sit in damp soil too long. It's always better to err on the side of underwatering than overwatering. They're very drought tolerant and can go months or years without water. An underwatered plant is an easy fix, but an overwatered plant, not so much ๐Ÿ˜‰
Once every 2-4 weeks
