# welcoming all advice on these guys … rescued them from a neglected…

welcoming all advice on these guys  
… rescued them from a neglected pot. I’m guessing they’re from the Aloe species. But I’m not sure of their lighting requirements. I repotted w/gritty substrate.  
Can they thrive indoors in a sunny window?  
Thanks🙂

Hey Chris! I don’t have any aloes, but I keep all of my succulents under grow lights from Amazon for 12 hours a day. I used to keep them in a southeast-facing window, and they were doing fine but growing slowly. I’d say if you can’t find a grow light, a sunny window is great, but expect slower growth. Hope this helps!

Thx Peyton!  
Well I was going to return these back to my senior Mom who doesn’t have grow lights. She had them in a north facing window. I may move them to a west facing window in her place. Bay Area sun isn’t very intense so I’ll see how they do there.  
Appreciate your feedback!  
🙂
