Do succulents prefer sun or shade?

1. Do you like sunshine or shade?

Succulents like sunlight and cannot grow in a shady environment for a long time. However, it does not need to be exposed to sunlight at all times. When the plant is first potted, it should be placed in a sunny place. It can only receive light after the succulent has adapted. Moreover, when the sun is strong in the summer, shade is also needed. It is best to place it in a semi-shaded place.

2. Tips for sunbathing

During the growing season, we need to meet its need for sunlight and provide it with as much light as possible so that it can grow fully. Some varieties of succulents need sunlight to change color, so they should be exposed to more sunlight in spring and autumn. The light in winter is mostly weak, so it is recommended to place succulents on the windowsill so that they can see the maximum light.

3. Notes

1. If the shading is not strong enough in the summer and the succulent is sunburned, move it to a cool place immediately and give it some water.

2. When growing it indoors, you should choose a location with good light, or move it outdoors regularly every day to avoid poor growth conditions.
