Bright indirect light

Does it have to be outside?

#### Debbie replied on 2024-06-23

Inside good. Have fun watching the new shoots emerge- it’s very satisfying!

Mine are in east-facing windows, so they get a couple hours of direct sun in the morning, then bright indirect light for the rest of the day. Seems to work well

Also wanted to mention that they have very small root systems so they probably wont need an increase in pot size for a looooong time

I was wondering if I should take it out of the plastic nursery pot or leave it in

#### send\_nodes replied on 2024-06-23

Up to you! I like nursery pots because they have so many drainage holes in the bottom

### New Plant Dad commented on 2024-06-23

That’s the challenge with me… WINDOWS!! Most of the windows in the house are higher than I would like. I always get confused with the direct/indirect sunlight..

These guys are not picky even though they are part of the succulents/cactus family. As long as a room has a window they tend to be just fine.

Thanks… the place I would like for it to go has a window about 6 feet away but it gets pretty good light.

I have one that gets direct sunlight in the morning and then indirect throughout the day. Mine does fine. It actually isn’t very picky.
