To be a good succulent parent you do need to tend toward the neglect side of things.

Potted plants in general tend to get over watered thanks to too much love and attention from their owners. Roots need the opportunity to dry out and pots do a good job of resisting that.

Many first time growers who experience dead/dying plants think it's because they're not doing enough, when the inverse is often the case: they're doing too much.
