"Succulents have an amazing adaptation: They store water in their leaves and stems. For this reason, many succulents make great indoor plants. Having adapted to places with sparse rainfall and poor soil, they actually do better when slightly neglected.

As you may have learned by experience, too much watering equals death for many houseplants. This is doubly true for succulents. But if you don't water them reliably, they won't grow much. They may become sparse and wither away until they die. This is how often you should water your indoor succulents to keep them healthy and thriving."  Comment from Southern Living
