How to get sunlight for succulent plants

The effect of light on succulents

When growing succulents, if there is sufficient light, the plants will grow stronger and the leaves will be thicker. Flowering will be better.

However, if there is insufficient light, the plant will grow poorly. It is easy to grow too tall, the internodes become longer, loose and shapeless, the leaves become thinner and dull in color, and flowering will also be affected, with flowers and buds falling off or even no flowers blooming.

Succulents' light requirements

When growing succulents, different varieties have different requirements for light.

Generally speaking, among succulent plants, most of them have a greater demand for light. They like sufficient light and are generally given sufficient full sunlight, with appropriate shade in summer.

Some succulents like scattered light, so they need sufficient scattered light when they are grown.

There are also winter types and variegated varieties that require less light. These do not require too much light, and should not be exposed to strong light. Be sure to maintain adequate shade and be careful of strong light at noon.

Please note that succulents that have just sprouted in early spring and those that have just been repotted need to be shaded. This will make it easier for the plant to grow and recover.
