Light:

Succulents generally need at least 6 hours of bright, indirect sunlight per day.

Direct sunlight can scorch leaves, especially in hot climates, so some shade may be necessary.

Watering:

The "soak and dry" method is best:

Water thoroughly when the soil is completely dry, and then allow excess water to drain away.

Frequency depends on the environment: In general, indoor succulents may need watering every 1-2 weeks, while outdoor succulents in hot, dry climates may need more frequent watering.

Reduce watering in winter:

Succulents go dormant in winter and need less water.

Signs of overwatering: Yellowing or browning leaves, mushy stems.

Signs of underwatering: Wrinkled or dry leaves
