Succulents require more water in the early spring when the plant is growing. Water needs may lessen in the summer and even more so during the winter. When the light decreases during the winter months and most succulents are in a dormant period, their water requirements also decrease.
DO IT. 1  Even animals that are protected under the AWA can be abused and tortured. 2  According to the Humane Society, registration of a single pesticide requires more than 50 experiments and the use of as many as 12,000 animals.  In tests of potential carcinogens, subjects are given a substance every day for 2 years.
Overwhelming evidence shows that testing drugs on animals is meaningless for humans, with a successful prediction rate for side effects of only 5-30%. For example, in a review of drugs withdrawn from the market (1960-90) only four out of 24 side effects were predicted by animal tests.he major reason new drugs are still tested on animals is to protect companies in court when people are injured or killed by adverse drug reactions. Pharmaceutical companies admit, in private and sometimes even in public, that animal testing is ineffective but is done because it provides liability protection.
