Succulent Included is a succulent plant Adenium, Pachypodium, Euphorbia, also cycads. If the rainy season has arrived, protect plants by using a plastic UV (ultra-violet). Or replace the planting medium with a more porous planting medium. So that excess water can be directly discarded. Thus succulent roots and tubers of plants do not become rotten. Porous growth media for example, fern, gravel and cocopeat.
Add bactericide and fungicide at the time of watering. This is to treat the roots of crops damaged by rain water.
 
Do not do grafting or cuttings, because it usually ends with decay and death. Unless you have a special place to do the grafting and cuttings. Reduce watering.
