Succulents kept in the sun like this, no wonder you throw away every pot you grow

Generally speaking, the succulents that prefer partial shade are mostly in the Haworthia series. Among them, the Haworthia cooperi series prefers a cool, partially shaded environment.

Haworthia cooperi

Light management:

Haworthia cooperi prefers a cool, partially shaded environment. Light plays a crucial role in the translucency and color of its leaves. For Haworthia cooperi, it cannot be exposed to too much sun, nor can it have too little.

Haworthia cooperi var. truncata

Light management:

Haworthia cooperi var. truncata is a typical winter-growing succulent that does not need much light, making it suitable for indoor growing and closed cultivation. It readily fills out its pot, needs only a small amount of light normally, and can be shaded appropriately in summer.

If the leaves of Haworthia cooperi var. truncata show signs of etiolation, increase the light slightly; if the leaves turn dark green, that means the light is too strong and you should reduce it. With more light, the leaves can turn pink, but too much light will scorch them gray.

Haworthia cooperi 'Ice Lantern'

Main reason:

Haworthia cooperi 'Ice Lantern' quite likes a cool environment. Apart from receiving little light during its dormant period, it can be given 2 hours of soft light each day in the other seasons, which helps the plant carry out photosynthesis.

The Liliaceae plants within the Haworthia genus prefer a partially shaded environment in summer and most dislike direct sunlight.

Haworthia fasciata

Light management:

Haworthia fasciata needs to be kept in a partially shaded environment in summer, avoiding strong light to prevent scorching.

Haworthia maughanii

Light management:

Haworthia maughanii is suited to growing in partial shade or soft sunlight. It dislikes harsh sun exposure, which otherwise causes unsightly scorch spots on the leaf surface and leaves the leaves dull and lusterless.

Haworthia truncata

Light management:

Haworthia truncata is better suited to an environment with diffused light, especially in summer, when the light must not be too strong. Strong light slows its growth and also makes its color less attractive. If your growing environment is unusual, you can provide appropriate shade.

Haworthia retusa

Light management:

Haworthia retusa also needs diffused light, avoiding direct sunlight. The duration of light can be adjusted according to the color and condition of the leaves.

If leaves that were originally brownish turn green, that is a sign of excessive shading and insufficient light, so increase the light; if brown spots appear on the leaves, that is sunburn caused by too much light, so provide appropriate shade.

Besides these, there are two other succulents familiar to growers that also prefer partial shade.

String of Hearts

Light management:

String of Hearts grows under diffused light conditions, with more lush foliage and branches. In summer it dislikes direct strong sunlight, and the soil should be kept moist.

String of Pearls

Light management:

String of Pearls prefers a partially shaded, humid environment and generally grows well under soft light. If the sunlight is too strong and the air is dry, it is easily scorched. Therefore, it should be placed in a spot with diffused light and good ventilation, and care should be taken to maintain the humidity of the surrounding environment.
