Question
Hi Will, should I clean the leaves of my succulents? If so, with what? Also, should I water them from the bottom up? I read that somewhere.

Thanks,  Nana

Answer
Hi Nana,

If the leaves are not noticeably dirty, then there is no reason to clean them. Otherwise, spray them with a mild solution of liquid dish soap and water and then rinse them with plain water.

Bottom watering is very tricky and it is easy to not water properly using that technique. I suggest watering from the top until a bit of water runs through the bottom drainage hole.

Please let me know if any of this is unclear or if you have any additional questions.
