I wasn't going to put it in something without drain holes, but my friends have had succulents in these cute pots and they have flourished. I barely watered this succulent at all. Barely enough to get it wet. I have absolutely no clue on how it would be too watered unless the store did it. I guess it could be in culture shock though. I'm nervous that I planted it wrong or something. I mixed it with special cactus soil.
