How many hours a day should succulents be exposed to the sun?

1. How many hours of sun exposure a day

General succulent varieties need to be exposed to sunlight for at least 2 hours a day, preferably more than 5 hours, to ensure that they grow well. If this condition is not met, the plant will grow too tall, reducing its ornamental value.

The specific duration of sunlight needs to be determined based on other factors. Because the temperature in the north is relatively lower, full sunlight can be received in spring, autumn, and winter. However, in summer, noon should be avoided and sunlight can only be obtained in the morning or evening. The temperature in the south will be higher. As long as it exceeds 30 degrees, it cannot be left in the sun for a long time, as it will burn the plants.

2. Precautions

However, it should be noted that if it is a newly purchased plant, it cannot be exposed to the sun using this method, because it may have adapted to growing indoors before, and it will not be able to withstand too much exposure to sunlight all at once. We need to give it sunlight step by step, first exposing it to astigmatism, and then gradually increasing it until it fully adapts to the environment.
