Succulent Watering Rule: Soak Until Dry, Not Teaspoons

How Dry Is Too Dry? Soil Cracked, Owner Afraid to Overwater

Owner lets succulent soil crack completely, fears overwatering, asks for rule of thumb and signs of thirst.

Greg's Rule

Soil dry to the touch = water thoroughly (soak), then let dry completely again. Underwatering (teaspoons) kills roots, then plant dies despite watering. Cracked soil is fine if you then soak it.
