Can succulents be exposed to the sun?

1. Whether you can get sun exposure

Succulent plants can bask in the sun. Although they like sunlight, if the sunlight is too strong or the temperature is above 30℃, it is best to keep them indoors or take shade measures. You can let it receive sunlight in the summer morning and place it in a diffuse light place indoors at noon.

However, succulents that have just been purchased or have just been successfully propagated are not suitable for sun exposure. When the roots have not restored their normal function of absorbing water, receiving light will increase water evaporation, causing them to be in a state of water shortage. After a few days of growth, it can receive appropriate light, but the light should not be too strong.

2. Precautions

When exposing succulents to the sun, ventilation should be increased appropriately. They will not be sunburned if they are in a high-temperature and ventilated environment for a short period of time. If it grows in a hot and humid environment, it will easily die.

3. Sunburn Problem

Basically, succulents need 4-6 hours of light per day to grow normally. If the light is too strong and it gets sunburned, you need to put it in a cool and well-ventilated place for maintenance in time, and it will slowly recover. However, it is difficult for leaves to recover after being sunburned. They will gradually fall off after growing for a period of time, but new leaves will sprout.
