My plant is drying out.
This is my plant, i bought them 3 days ago, and within 2 days they have dried up and look unwell. What am I doing wrong? Could it be the cold weather? I could really use some advice.
23ft to light, indirect
4” pot with drainage
Last watered 2 months ago

@TheConservator the plant is still dry, but the soil is wet. I bought the plant three days ago with dry soil. But then the plant started wilting so I have it some water yesterday, not a lot. Just to get the soil wet.
Succulents are desert adapted plants, and so need lots of sunlight and not much water. I’d recommend that (if it isn’t already) it should be in direct sunlight and watered about once a month ( in the summer around 2-3 weeks) it will probably take some time to a adapt to its new environment though. They don’t like sitting in water, and they don’t use water from the roots - they store it in their leaves, so you don’t need to dampen the soil- just the leaves .
