# I received this succulent as a gift and I was unsure of what to do…

_Posted by Sabrina on 2024-09-08_

I received this succulent as a gift and I was unsure of what to do with it so I placed it outside in a very sunny spot. I was wrong it almost died on me and lost all of it's color. I looked up where to properly place it and since I brought it in and put it in a sunny window I see a big difference with it's health and especially it's color.

I have this same succulent ! I got mine as a cutting and kept it inside til it rooted then chucked her outside. She sits in mostly shady area but gets some direct morning sun, she loves it out there 😇

With that type of plant you probably need to put it in a shady place but in the morning.
