Have watered this soil throughly and it takes forever to dry.

My Son says simple don't water so much.

He is probably right. Thoughts?

Let it dry out some before watering again. Stick your finger or hoe out a spot and check it. Soil type, humidity, temp, age of plant (depth of roots) plays a role.

Like my Son said don't water so much especially if it is a young plant.

Like he said if it is moist it's doing its job and not mud.

Hehe. Mud is mostly water and plant cant breathe. Moist is closer to being right but let it dry out some before watering again. You may get a day off.

This soil says it's good for succulents so I'm thinking you can continue to water it and if it has good drainage all good.

I used it to start Tomatoes and they liked it.

I have two different soils and the other drys out much faster.
