@izzyandsugar Schedules never work on plants. There are too many environmental variables in the home that determine how quickly the soil dries out. Only water succulents when the soil is completely dry. See how its leaves are thick and juicy? They store water and don't need to be watered as often as other plants do. Even if the app tells you that it's time to water always check the soil first before you blindly give it a drink. 👍😊 Then whenever you do water make sure that you water it thoroughly. Like until you see water coming from the bottom of the pot. Then put it in a window where it can get at least 6 hours of bright sunlight per day. 👍☺️

So this is almost exactly how my first succulent died, if you water it every other day or every three days,it will be over watered.  You should water it every two weeks. Hope this helps!

My succulent was like this when I moved houses because it wasn’t getting enough light and going through environmental stress. Make sure it’s getting sunlight and you’re not moving it around too much or else it can’t get used to its environment.

Hi! Yes they are houseplants but they need a lot of light and they need to dry completely between waterings. The more light they get the more you can get away with watering. I bought a very cheap water meter from Amazon to help me figure it all out.  You’ve got 5 different plants in there by the way. 😁
