Watering and Light Recommendations

Indoors:
- Watering: Instead of providing gradual sips of water throughout the week, give the succulents a thorough soaking until water drains from the pot's drainage holes. Empty excess water from the saucer as succulents dislike sitting in water. Allow the soil to completely dry out before watering again.

Outdoors:
- Summer Watering: Water the succulents every two weeks by soaking them and allowing them to dry before watering again.
- Winter Watering: Water the succulents once a month.

Technical Details for Care:

- Light Requirements: Requires bright light for most of the day or constant dappled shade.
- Watering Frequency: Best to water every two weeks.
