There is a layer of old leaves on the surface of succulent bulbs that can absorb water, so do not water too much in summer. To avoid the soil being too wet or too dry. You can soak the pot of the succulent bulb in water, or you can use the drip watering method. Do not spray water directly on the plant to avoid affecting the plant's normal breathing. Controlling watering can also cause the moisture in the surface layer of old leaves to evaporate and become thinner, clinging to the young leaves.
