To care for the Mustang Dongyun succulent flower pot, you can choose a clay pot and select well-drained, loose, breathable and fertile soil.

In summer, you can often spray water on the surrounding environment to cool it down. In winter, the plant needs to be placed in a warm place indoors for maintenance.

4. Watering

The Mustang Dongyun succulent has good water storage capacity and is drought-resistant, but it cannot be without water. Generally, it needs to be watered when the soil is dry. Usually it is watered once every 7 days or so. When the plant enters a dormant period, water needs to be controlled.
