thank you Tarev,

I never have soaked any of my plants either but i have heard people say every so often they do it to make sure the plants soil is getting wet all the way through and the root ball isn't staying dry & not getting enough water.But they were not talking about succulents.

I can move them under a small tree were,they will get a little shade for a while when the sun gets in a certain spot. Watering some of mine only 1 or 2 times a week,I would be scared I'd loose my elephant bushes the most.Do you know if they take more water or need more shade or simply always need some shade?They have to be watered more often here in the heat,i water as i think they need it mostly it's the elephant bush and sometimes my pencil tree,it's in a small pot as is the donkey tail. My jades are doing good i think i have them in a real good potting mixture.

i hope this picture is clear enough you can see how wrinkled the leaf is,they are also soft not thick like they usually are.If the temp.& humidity are so high can the leaves dehydrate if it not getting enough water to replace what is being lost from the leaves during the day?
A green thumb comes only as a result of the mistakes you make while learning to see things from the plants point of view!!
