Bonsai Jack is SO gritty and SO well-draining. That's what makes it great for indoor succulents, but it can definitely dry out too fast outdoors in hot, dry climates. You'll want to add more organic matter to your soil to help it retain moisture longer, something like potting soil, bagged cactus & succulent soil (like Miracle Gro or Black Gold), or decomposed compost. Start at a 1:1 ratio with the Bonsai Jack mix. If it's still drying out too fast, add more organic matter.
