How to Water string of buttons?

Originating from arid regions, string of buttons is adapted to environments with low water availability, displaying a remarkable drought tolerance. This succulent thrives when its soil dries out between watering sessions, aligning with a watering schedule of once every three weeks. Given its preference for well-draining soil and susceptibility to root rot if overwatered, it's crucial to ensure the soil is completely dry before rehydrating. Typically grown indoors due to its modest size and decorative appeal, string of buttons flourishes in containers that complement its need for minimal water, making it an ideal choice for water-conscious gardeners.
