When is the best time to put succulents in the sun?
Although succulents are not as popular as they used to be, there are still plenty of beginner flower enthusiasts on the succulent bandwagon. Seeing flower enthusiasts ask about the best time to put succulents in the sun, I realize there is a lot to pay attention to, so let's talk about it from the fundamentals, and afterward flower enthusiasts still need to do their homework on the succulents they grow.
Succulents: Winter care and management of succulents
First, flower enthusiasts need to understand that there are many varieties of succulents, and their characteristics differ, such as dormancy periods and whether they tolerate sun exposure. We should treat different plants differently, not without distinction.
Sun exposure is very important for succulents, because it is the inevitable choice for making them look good. Generally speaking, in spring, autumn and winter you can give them full sun, because in these three seasons the sun is relatively soft and will not harm the succulents. In summer, because the light is relatively strong and most flower enthusiasts live in high-rise buildings where temperatures are higher, we need to provide shade in summer, generally placing them in a cool, ventilated spot for care. For the few plants that do not go dormant in summer, giving them some sun in the morning and evening is enough, and those using shade netting also need a shading effect of more than 50%.
If the succulents were just bought, be sure not to give them full sun immediately. We should give light gradually, for example, first let them recover in a shady spot, then gradually increase the light, because newly bought succulents have mostly been kept indoors for some time and are not yet adapted to a full-sun environment.
Under normal circumstances, for succulents the daily light duration should not be less than 2 hours, and preferably more than 5 hours, otherwise they will become leggy and look unattractive. In our daily care, we should arrange light reasonably. Once the succulents have fully recovered, according to the season and the succulents' dormancy and growth conditions, reasonably arranging light duration and watering amount helps maintain the succulents' best condition.
Of course, if there is too little light, it generally only causes succulents to become leggy and look poor, and will not bring fatal harm.
Finally, I want to emphasize to flower enthusiasts that you must arrange sun exposure time according to the specific varieties of succulents you grow, because there are many kinds of succulents. Crassulaceae and Cactaceae can both be called succulents, but their tolerance to the sun is completely different. Because there are so many kinds of succulents, I will not list them one by one here. Interested flower enthusiasts can consult us on WeChat with the specific succulent name to check its growth habits.
