Water about once a week. Let the soil dry well first. The fleshy leaves store water, so it hates wet soil.

Feeding and repotting
Feed every 4 to 6 weeks in summer at half strength. Repot only every 2 to 3 years. Its roots are small and fine.
Watch out for
Wrinkled leaves mean thirst. Soft, dropping leaves mean too much water. Direct sun leaves pale patches.
