As a general rule of thumb, an indoor succulent only needs to be watered once a fortnight.
However, as each plant can vary and their positioning indoor may get more or less sunlight, it’s best to check the soil for signs of moisture to tell when it’s right to water again. Once the soil has dried out completely, it’s okay to give it some more water. If you have jade plants, we have a complete guide on how much and when to water jade plants.
How Long Can Succulents Go Without Water?
Depending on the variety of the succulent and its positioning in your home or garden, you can leave a succulent for around two weeks before you start to notice signs of dehydration.
Most succulents will survive up to four weeks without water but you may do some damage to the plant if you leave them this long.
Should You Mist Succulents?
Some plants do well in humid conditions and need their leaves sprayed with a mist of water to keep conditions good, however, a succulent is not one of them.
Misting the leaves of your plant will make the top layer of soil wet and the leaves, which can lead to rotting and fungus growth on a succulent.
