Congrats on your new succulent! They are definitely low-maintenance, but there are a few key things to remember. First, make sure you use well-draining soil—succulents hate sitting in water. For watering, wait until the soil is completely dry before giving it a good soak, usually every 2-3 weeks depending on your climate. As for sunlight, they generally love bright, indirect light; try to avoid harsh direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves. Keep an eye on it and you’ll be a succulent expert in no time!

PlantDad_99: Another tip is to keep an eye on the leaves. If they start getting wrinkly, they probably need water!
