I recently got a candle light/candle plant succulent and I need some advice on it. I was told I won't have to repot it for another 1-2 years. How often should I water it? Should I repot it now and does it need fertilizer, if so what kind? I have it by a window with bright but indirect light. How do I keep the beautiful color on the leaves? Thank you!

Welcome!

I assume you have a variegated version of Senecio articulatus. No, don't repot - I agree, that pot is good for another 1 or 2 years. Water when the soil is dry. It needs full sun indoors. The only way to keep the variegation is full sun.

Only the green parts of the leaves photosynthesize so, it the plant gets less than full sun, it will start growing green leaves to support itself. No, it doesn't need fertilizer.
