Hi. I’ve just joined! I have a Crassula Springtime. This app is telling me that the spot it’s in is too dark…. It’s in my kitchen window….. it’s gets loads of light - is it just the time of day or is it really too dark?!

      This definitely needs a south window, west is second best! North is the darkest, there aren’t many plants I would put in a north window

      Excuse the child’s mess 🤣 I have blinds closed and it’s bright but cold… il move it to the front - he will have to go on the kitchen table - the window ledges in the downstairs front have been taken off 🤣

    A room full of windows sounds like the move!

      Stonecrops can be surprisingly cold hardy! Good luck

    It’s way more likely to survive the cold than lack of sun. It needs about 6-8 hrs of direct sunlight. Aclimate it first, so it doesn’t burn.

    I’d put it outside in full sun if it’s over 45°! That’s the best place for it.

      I saw those. Don’t you need certain colours lights for types of plants? Do they plug in or run battery? Do they not increase the electric bill by a lot?

      You can get a single LED light ring that plugs in. Under $20 and many to choose. I have three like the ones in the picture. The stems are expandable. They each cover several foliage plants with white light. I’ve added a grow light bulb to an older lamp. That works too. Just place the grow lights within a foot of the succulent. I run mine 12 hours a day. Most lights come with 4/8/12 hour timers.

    Grow lights… my cacti are literally blooming flowers with one. I got like a $60 one and it’s white light (white includes all colors like the sun, I use these for all my plants they’re the best you can get). And they are LED I believe so they don’t increase the bill by a whole lot (I run 5 of them in different places and a huge humidifier for my tropicals).
