Rustic Succulent Basket

Two rules do most of the work: more light and dry between waterings.

Where to keep it?

Think bright light / sun.

• Indoors: sunny windowsill is ideal.
• Outdoors: sun is great, but acclimatise slowly (a few days in bright shade first).

How much watering?

The mistake is frequent small watering. Do soak + drain, then wait.

• Finger test: soil surface dry isn’t enough—check 1 inch deep.
• If dry, water thoroughly and let excess drain fully.
• Spring/Summer: usually 1x every 7–10 days (depends on sun/heat).
• Winter: minimal; only if shrivelling starts.

Other care tips

• Never let the pot sit in water.
• Bright light keeps succulents compact; low light makes them stretch.
