The pot you are using also plays a big part in making sure that your succulents won't get overwatered, as using the right one will promote better water drainage and air circulation, which will assist the soil to dry faster. Keep in mind that if the soil does not drain well and fast enough or if it has already become poor in quality over time, you'll risk your succulents sitting in wet more than they should be, which will only lead them to rot. Since succulents store water in their leaves and stem (which helps them survive long periods of drought), giving them too much water will only cause their leaves and tissues to become bloated, and eventually burst.Īside from too much water, overwatering can also be due to the soil's quality and the pot that you are using for your succulents.
