shouldhen Y chicks be watered like desert cactus?

1 Answer

Answer :

Hens & Chicks are succulents, not cacti.  They need water every week or when the top if the soil is completely dry to the touch.  I think once every two weeks is not frequent enough. I've always bought starts or transplants rather than seed.
