Yep! I typically water mine every 7-10 days or so in the summer and spring because that’s their growing season, and stretch it every 3 weeks in the winter. You should allow the soil to dry out completely in between waterings. If their leaves get squishy or wrinkled, it usually means you watered them too much, but it can happen if you don’t water them enough.

Getting the right soil is beneficial as well. I use cactus potting soil, because it drains quickly so the roots don’t sit in water for too long, which can open it up to rot. Any pot you put a succulent in should have a hole in the bottom for drainage. If you don’t, you have to pay extra attention to how it responds to watering, and periodically check its roots. Personally, I find it more trouble than it’s worth, but some of the more decorative pots don’t have holes, so I have to drill my own. If you’re still worried about overwatering, use terra-cotta pots. They absorb the water for faster drainage, and they’re easy to paint if you want something more colorful.
