Baby's toes, succulent watering
Hey guys, I bought a 2" potted baby toes plant a few months ago. I set it in west facing windowsill and it's already bloomed twice and is going to go again! But the thing is, it's kind of wrinkly. I haven't watered it yet because I'm afraid of overwatering it. I don't know how much to water it, and I'm afraid that i'll kill it. I have a jade plant in the bedroom i got a while ago, probably overwatered, and it's leaves are now flat! It's still alive but i don't know how much to water it to fix it. That plant is probably in a 4" pot.

Anyone have any idea on how to water these things so that they don't die, hehe?

Bottom water it in a small bowl. As soon as it is moist,take it out of the bowl. Only water the plant when it is very wrinkled.

should i wait until all the soil is moist then? like, as soon as the top becomes wet, take it out of the bowl?

sorry if this sounds a little dumb, but i've killed off a couple succulents before and i really dont want theseones to die. thanks!
