Most succulents need to be watered twice a week during summers and only once in monsoon & winters. Varieties like Haworthias, Crassulas and Gasterias are well suited for low-light indoors and window-sills. If the leaves get too bulky, it is a sign of overwatering & if the leaves look shrivelled it is a sign of less watering.
As a general rule of thumb, all the ones with colourful leaves like Echeverias, Sedeveria and Graptopetalum like bright sunlight and semi shade in extreme summers. They cannot be kept indoors or in full shade. All succulents love morning sun.
You can fertilise your succulent once a month.
Watering tips : Make sure NOT to water on the plant itself. Water directly in the soil. You can use a cup or a glass to make sure the water does not spray on leaves. When watering, make sure water comes out of the drainage hole.

Round-Leaved Succulent Vine (Cissus Subaphylla)
Overview
Cissus subaphylla is a rare, low-growing succulent from the Vitaceae family, native to Yemen. Unlike typical climbing Cissus varieties, it features distinctive flattened, grey-green stems that create a sculptural, spreading form. Its subtle foliage and occasional tiny flowers add delicate character, making it an excellent choice for balconies, succulent collections, and modern plant styling.
Environment
Thrives in well-drained soil with moderate watering. Prefers full sun to bright indirect light and can adapt to light shade. In hot regions like Ahmedabad, it benefits from protection against harsh afternoon sun. Ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot and maintain plant health.
Landscape Uses
Ideal for succulent gardens, balcony planters, rock gardens, and mixed arrangements where texture and contrast are desired. Its unique flattened stems create a sculptural effect, making it especially suitable for contemporary decor and collector displays.
