When selecting a position for a succulent, there are several factors to consider, such as light exposure, temperature, and humidity when deciding where the best placement would be for a succulent houseplant.
The first factor to consider is light exposure. To keep succulent houseplants looking their best, they should be placed near to a window that offers plenty of indirect sunlight, such as an east-facing window. If there is not a lot of sunlight available, either grow lights or a fluorescent fixture should be used to provide the succulent plant with enough light for proper growth. Additionally, succulents that are placed in windowsills can be at risk of scorching in direct sunlight, so ensure that the plants have adequate shade when necessary. Succulents can often benefit by having their pot turned every week or so. This allows an even spread of light for the plant and prevent stretching.
The second factor to consider is temperature. Succulents generally like warm, dry conditions and do best when placed in a spot that’s around the 15 to 25 degrees Celsius range. Heat is especially important for newly-planted succulents, as this will help them to adjust more quickly to their environments. It is also important to be mindful of cold temperatures, frost can sometimes damage tender succulents such as echeveria, however sempervivms are generally hardier and can withstand most winters in the UK.
The third factor to consider is humidity. Succulents do not generally require high levels of humidity, as they tend to prefer arid or semi-arid conditions. However, in extremely dry spaces, like air-conditioned rooms or winter months, monthly misting with a spray bottle can be beneficial to succulents.
Overall, ensure that the position you choose for your succulents offers enough light, warmth, and humidity in order to thrive. A window with ample amounts of indirect sunlight is best for providing, temperatures that are around the 15 to 25 degrees Celsius range, and humidity levels should be moderated. By following these tips and providing your succulent houseplant with the necessary care, you should be able to reap the benefits of a healthy and thriving succulents and sempervivums!
