You will need to water your succulents differently from season-to-season. But as long you only water them when the soil feels dry, it will stay healthy. They will do well with very little watering until next summer. Cuttings should only be taken in summer or spring after the flowering season. A low nitrogen fertilizer can be applied once a week from spring to autumn. Again, give it some time after the flowering season, usually a month is enough. Allow the soil to dry for a month before doing it again after which you can proceed with the usual frequency above.

Succulent mixes benefit from organic matter to increase the volume of water a mixture can hold and its ability to absorb nutrients. You can choose from mineral particles or decayed organic materials. With these characteristics, your plant will thrive because it is well-aerated and doesn't hold water. Though water moves well in such soil, the soil will not hold enough water for the plant, and it is impossible for the roots to access any nutrients, as much as an ice plant requires less of that.
