You can use liquid plant fertilizer with a ratio of 5:10:5. Ensure the fertilizer you choose is slow-release to avoid shocking your succulent.

This is especially important for desert-dwelling plants because rainfall is less likely to soak into the lower layers of dirt than it is to be evaporated by the hot sun and dry air.
