The best way to water succulents?

Question

So basically recently I ran across this video from this very popular plant Instagramer who stated the best way to water succulent plants is FULL submersion. I tried it with my String of Turtles. In my honest opinion I had to be extremely careful to not let the soil seep out of the pot. ￼Do you feel like this really is the best way to water succulents? Please share your experience with me.￼ #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #wateringtips

Answer

I struggle with submerging as if any of my cacti/succulents have any damaged on them the water expose to it will cause it to rot, I just bottom feed 👌🏻
