How often should a succulent arrangement be watered?

Most need water only once the soil has dried out completely, often every two to three weeks indoors. Winter usually calls for even less.

Do succulents need direct sunlight?

They generally do best in bright, indirect light near a window. Too little light can make them stretch and lose their compact shape.
