Suculentas para iniciantes e como cuidar deles (Novas plantas adicionadas regularmente)

Hi MariaThey don't look in too bad condition. The plants on the left look a little pale, and yes, you're right that this could have been caused by the intense heat.I can't quite tell what condition the leaves are in from that picture, but if the leaves look a little wrinkley, shriveled or wilted, and they feel thin and bend easily, then the plant has been underwatered. On the other hand, if the leaves look a little yellow and mushy and they fall off easily, then the plant has been overwatered.If you think they have been underwatered, then soak the plants completely in water and then do it again a few days later. Then, after the second watering, leave it for about two weeks before watering again. You really want to let the soil dry out completely between waterings after that.Unfortunately, with succulents, there's not a lot that can be done with overwatering. If it has been overwatered, then repot (as you have done) and don't water at all for a couple of weeks. If the leaves fall off, don't panic, you can take them and use them as a cutting. If you place the fallen leaf on top of some dry soil for a few days to dry out, then place the base under the soil. Keep it lightly moist, just enough to dampen the soil, and in about 5 weeks, with a bit of luck, you'll have some new roots that will then grow into a new plant.Your pots look lovely, but do they have drainage holes? It's not vital, but you'll just have to be more careful with watering. The drainage holes not only stops the water from sitting in the pot for too long, but it also helps to flush away any build up of minerals in the soil.And I love your rustic bookshelf!

The one on the left had wet soil when I purchased it, so may be it was overwatered. I didn’t water them after repotting, so hopefully that helps.

Thank you for all your tips and the compliments! And yes, they do have drainage holes, I made sure before buying them.

I got these two from Walmart and they&rsquo;re a little damaged from the intense heat I&rsquo;m guessing. I repotted them as soon as I got home and hopefully that doesn&rsquo;t affect the plant. I have them on a bookshelf that is near a glass door that allows plenty of light in, but no direct sunlight. Any tips on caring for these babies are greatly appreciated!&nbsp;
