Should Succulents Grow In Shade Or Sun

[@CleoGravel]

Omg lol, my succulents are indoors with afternoon sun in front of my patio doors with a roof on top. I do notice the colours are not as bright as they should be. I don’t have a lot of room, but I tried grow light with no luck, so far the plants I haven’t killed off are doing ok 😊

Yeahhh, it can be hard indoors and, as you said, even the lights may sometimes not be enough. You can get the right spectrum for succulents but they are not very energy efficient and will chew through electricity. At least some are going well tho 👍☺💚

I appreciate your to the point, informative videos. Live in the USA and the summer months in North Carolina are brutal...VERY HOT ....only allow morning sun. Winter my succulents in a large, very sunny window.

Ohhh, it's so hard when the weather is that hot 😔 I'm not looking forward to our summer this year- it will not be pleasant. It seems though, your succulents are well taken care of 🙂 Hope you'll have a lovely, mild autumn soon 💚

Hi. Nice information. Me from Kolkata, India. Here the climate is something like yours. So this was was and will remain important for me. Thank you.

[@SucculentGrowingTips]

Thank you so much- glad the video was helpful 🙂

My big dark Aeonium like A purple rose and A black rose are fine in full sun but all the smaller hybrids, variegated ones and A lily pad are getting crisped leaves even under 50 percent shade cloth now we are over 100 degrees F. Hopefully they will all bounce back in autumn.

Very good video! Thank you

Thank you- much appreciated ☺🌵

Sempervivum are also more of a morning sun lover or 50 percent shade cloth lover in summer... they have really appreciated my shade cloth along with my Aeonium which I think would have died if I didn't have them under cover this summer. Others have stretched under the shade cloth, all the chubbies especially my Pachyphytum need more sun than this.

Well done

[@SucculentGrowingTips]

Thank you 🙂🌵

Thanks for this one..i forgot to put back my haworthias in shade for just few hours and they got sunburned specially the soft ones..

[@SucculentGrowingTips]

Ahhh, yes- i've done that as well with Haworthia once. Forgot a tray in the sun and they all burned to death, the poor babies 😭

[@daym8]

As shared with me, echverias don't stretch if the watering is cut down, when the light source is a limiting factor say indirect light and its located indoors. They don't die either, Infact they remain compact What are your thoughts about this Kat is this right or detrimental ?

[@SucculentGrowingTips]

Hmm, my experience is the complete opposite and i'd disagree with all of that 😅 Even if you cut out water the plant is still going to look for light.

graptopetalum mendozae and sedum clavatum were fine in mid-May, they were on the balcony and got direct sunlight, the noon sun is very hot, but in June some of their leaves burned and I moved them to an open but full shade area because they were only in a 5.5 cm pot and they were small. I didn't want them to die, but now it's the end of July and they've lost their shape and aren't growing. I'm afraid to put them back in the sun because the temperature here really goes up to 42 degrees. Do you have any suggestions for them?
