3. Avoid Daily Watering

Excess moisture and humidity in the surroundings during monsoon keep the soil wet for prolonged periods. Do not water them till the topsoil feels very dry to touch in the monsoons.

4. Collect Rainwater for Watering

Prefer using rainwater to water the succulents as it has a lower pH value and is less mineral-laden as compared to tap water. It also promotes better growth of the leaves.

Collect rainwater in a container and use it for watering your indoor succulent plants only when the topsoil looks completely dry.

5. Do Not Put a Tray Below the Pot

Avoid keeping the succulent container on top of a tray as it will prevent the water to escape out from the drainage hole, keeping the soil unnecessarily wet.
