How To Take Care Of Cactus And Succulents. The pot should be large enough for the succulent. The cooler temperatures will help these sun-loving plants adapt to the lower light of winter.
Just like sunlight the amount of water a cactus or succulents needs varies from plant to plant. Big or small cacti can fit in any space at all. 2- The water for Plants.
Similar to the stick test in baking you can poke a stick through your medium to check if there is still moisture.
If dirt sticks to the stick its still wet at the bottom even if the top seems dry. 3- The light source for Plants. Once you get the hang of caring for your succulents and manage to keep a plant thriving through maturity you can now take on the world and start propagating. If the soil is dry you should add enough water so that the soil is saturated but do not overfill the pot.
