Hi. Iā€™ve just joined! I have a Crassula Springtime. This app is telling me that the spot itā€™s in is too darkā€¦. Itā€™s in my kitchen windowā€¦.. itā€™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 arenā€™t many plants I would put in a north window

      Excuse the childā€™s mess šŸ¤£ I have blinds closed and itā€™s bright but coldā€¦ 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 šŸ¤£

    A room full of windows sounds like the move!

      Stonecrops can be surprisingly cold hardy! Good luck

    Itā€™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 doesnā€™t burn.

    Iā€™d put it outside in full sun if itā€™s over 45Ā°! Thatā€™s the best place for it.

      I saw those. Donā€™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. Iā€™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 lightsā€¦ my cacti are literally blooming flowers with one. I got like a $60 one and itā€™s white light (white includes all colors like the sun, I use these for all my plants theyā€™re the best you can get). And they are LED I believe so they donā€™t increase the bill by a whole lot (I run 5 of them in different places and a huge humidifier for my tropicals).
