When we grow flowers and plants at home, we can also keep several small succulents. Succulents are very cute little plants and small potted plants. Most succulents are relatively small and adorable, of course, there are also some large succulents. Succulents are very suitable for keeping at home, especially some hardy and beautiful ones. Whether it's children, the elderly, or beginners in growing succulents, they can all take good care of them.
For example, Marcus,姬胧月 (Ji Longyue),胧月 (Longyue), Fireworks, First Love, Winter Beauty, and so on, these succulents are not delicate, very hardy, and not prone to pests. They are easy to care for, heat and cold resistant, easy to grow well, and very beautiful. In fact, to take good care of succulents, in addition to matching soil, watering, and ventilation, there is another important point, exposure to sunlight is also important. So, how should succulents be exposed to sunlight?
There are actually a few details to note:
1. Young succulents or leaf-cutting seedlings should be exposed to less sunlight.
Newly potted succulents, freshly planted, or newly purchased succulents need to be acclimated to the pot. Therefore, they should not be exposed to sunlight and must be placed in a place with diffused light and good ventilation. After watering thoroughly once, do not water again until the potting soil is dry. When the roots have grown well, the leaves are fully expanded, and there are signs of new leaf growth, they can be exposed to sunlight, watered, and cared for normally. After acclimating to the pot, they can be exposed to sunlight normally.

2. Succulents should be exposed to sunlight according to the weather, season, and temperature changes.
1. In fact, many friends ask whether succulents need sunlight, and the answer is yes, they do need sunlight. Apart from a few exceptions, such as some十二卷类的玉扇 (Shi Erjuan Yushan), Shou, and Yulou, as well as some like佛珠 (Fozhu), Xuan Yue, these succulents prefer scattered light and not direct sunlight. Most other succulents need plenty of sunlight and enjoy direct sunlight.
2. Especially in spring and autumn, exposing succulents to sunlight in spring can make their plants healthier and stronger, with thicker and more abundant branches and leaves. They should receive at least four hours of sunlight every day. This way, the succulents we raise will not look thin and ugly, will not stretch, and will grow strong and become old stakes.
3. In summer, when it's hot, succulents, like humans and animals, are afraid of heat and high temperatures, and afraid of direct sunlight. At this time, they should be placed in a relatively comfortable and peaceful environment to cool down, sun-proof, and shaded from the sun. They should be kept in a shady and well-ventilated place to prevent the leaves from getting sunburned.
