Can succulents be exposed to the sun?

1. Is it possible?

Under normal circumstances, succulents can be exposed to the sun because they need light to maintain their growth process. However, different plant varieties require different amounts of sunlight. Some species only need 3-4 hours of sunlight per day, while others need 6-8 hours.

Generally, when raising it at home, it needs to be exposed to more sunlight and can be placed on an open balcony or near a window. However, be careful not to expose it to strong sunlight in summer, otherwise its leaves will be sunburned, and in severe cases the plant may die. Usually in midsummer, succulents should be moved to a semi-shaded place for maintenance, or a sunshade should be built for them.

2. Precautions

1. For succulents that have just been potted, do not expose them to sunlight immediately. They should be placed in a semi-shaded place for about half a month, and then expose them to appropriate light after their roots have adapted.

2. For succulents that have adapted to the environment, you need to slowly increase the light. Do not suddenly place them under direct light. The plants will not be able to adapt and will show adverse performance.
