If you're growing succulents, you can start with the most common ones, which are both attractive and easy to maintain.

If you want to grow healthy and plump succulents, watering is one of the most crucial steps. How should you water succulents?

Should you wait for the potting soil to be completely dry before watering succulents?

If the soil is dry, it definitely needs watering. If the potting soil is extremely dry, the succulents will lack water and get damaged. Therefore, whether it rains or not, if the soil of the indoor succulents is dry, you should water it promptly and not wait until the soil is completely dry.

After watering, you should open the window for ventilation. If the windows are closed tightly or kept in a place without proper ventilation indoors, the soil moisture won't dry up. If the temperature is high, the high temperature and humidity without ventilation can easily cause black rot.

Can you water indoor succulents on rainy days, and will they rot after watering?

If there is good ventilation, during the rain, water them and place them near the windowsill or balcony to let them enjoy the breeze. Or, if the temperature is not low, during spring and autumn, you can let them be rained on for an hour, which is also fine. If the potting soil is moist, whether it's sunny or rainy, there's no need to water again.
