Shoutout to the old lady at the nursery who told me to stop babying my succulents
She said they thrive on neglect and I've been drowning mine in water for 2 years. Cut back to watering once a month and they finally stopped rotting. Anyone else overwater their plants forever before learning this?

Two years of drowning mine too, now they're finally not dying.

Nah sorry @park.riley but this sounds like bad luck more than anything. If your plants are drowning for two years straight, the issue might be your soil drainage or pot choice, not the watering schedule itself. Maybe try switching to terracotta pots and checking for root rot before it gets that bad next time.
