I don't usually water them weekly, I just won't water them if I think it's been less than a week. I'd say they probably get watered on average every 2 weeks or so, give or take a week. Sometimes I remember to water them because I'll notice one starting to get pruny and shriveling a bit. To be honest I have no idea how they're all alive, much less thriving. I feel like a terrible plant owner, but apparently succulents are just my speed. Every one of them is all bright and vibrant, despite my forgetfulness and neglect.
