IDEAL LIGHT
Full Sun:
This means the plant likes a lot of light and
can handle some direct sunlight. This does
not mean it can handle heat -- that varies
ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

from succulent to succulent. Generally
keep succulents shaded in the afternoon
when temperatures are hottest.
If you are growing succulents indoors,
“full sun” succulents will need a grow light
running several hours per day in order to
prevent stretching and maintain color.
Partial Sun:
These succulents like quite a bit of sun,
but don’t generally want direct sun all day.
Still protect them from heat and avoid late
afternoon light. Morning light is ideal.
Indoors, you’ll want to use a grow light a
few hours a day to prevent stretching and
maintain color.

IDEAL LIGHT
Shade:
Avoid giving these succulents direct
sunlight. Morning sun may be ok, but not
for very long.
ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

Indoors, you may want to supplement with
a grow light for a couple hours a day to
maintain really compact shape.
Indoor:
While all succulents can technically be
grown indoors, succulents with this icon
will grow well without a grow light. You
may notice a little stretching, but not as
much as a full sun succulent.
If you don’t have grow lights, consider
getting a succulent with this icon for your
indoor garden.

SUCCULENTSANDSUNSHINE.COM/TOSLIGHT
WATER
Watering frequency is affected by a
number of factors including (but not
limited to): general climate, temperature,
soil type, pot size, pot material, air
circulation, and more.
ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

To help you understand the needs of
succulents relative to each other, the cards
have a “drop system” to indicate how much
water they like.
I always recommend following the “Soak
and Dry” method for watering to ensure
your succulents grow a healthy roots.
If you are not familiar with this method,
please visit:
succulentsandsunshine.com/toswater
DROP SYSTEM MEANINGS
You’ll find these succulents are extremely

drought tolerant, very low maintenance
and should be watered very infrequently.
They are prone to rot, especially if watered
very often during dormancy.

SUCCULENTSANDSUNSHINE.COM/TOSWATER
These succulents are generally prone to

rot and should be watered infrequently,
waiting several days or even a week or two
ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

after the soil is dry.
They can be watered more often than
their “1 drop” cousins, but can still go long
periods of time without water.
This is what we consider an “average”

succulent. Water a couple days after the
soil is completely dry.
Waiting longer between watering will allow
your succulents to become more drought
tolerant and have strong healthy root
systems. But waiting too long may cause
them to grow very slowly.

While most succulents can go long periods

of time without water, succulents in this
group like to be watered pretty frequently.
ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

Ideally you’ll wait until the soil has dried
out completely, but may find they need to
be watered a bit sooner.
These succulents are really not like other

succulents at all. There are very few of
them, but they need very frequent water or
high humidity in order to thrive.
Combining these succulents in
arrangements with 2 and 3 drop succulents
will prove to be a challenge and they may
not last long.
NOTE
The drop system is a guideline to help you
find succulents with similar water needs
and get a general idea for how to water.
You may find that some succulents need
adjustments to grow well in your climate.

MINIMUM TEMPERATURE
Cold temperatures can easily damage
succulents. Each species has different
temperatures it can handle.
Most succulents can handle these
ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

temperatures for a few days before you’ll
start to see problems.
Ideally, you’d keep them above this
temperature.
Larger plants will tolerate the cold more
easily than smaller plants. Succulents in the
ground will tolerate colder temperatures
better than succulents in pots.
If you are concerned about specific plants
during a cold spell, you can either bring
them in or cover with frost cloth. This is a
temporary fix and won’t generally allow
them to tolerate temperatures below their
normal rating.

SUCCULENTSANDSUNSHINE.COM/TOSTEMP
DORMANCY
Dormancy is a period of time when
succulents grow more slowly or almost
stop growing. This generally happens when
temperatures are hotter or colder than
succulents like.
ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

Succulents listed as summer dormant will
grow primarily during cool times of year.
Winter dormant succulents will grow
primarily during warm times of year.
Generally you’ll want to reduce watering
during dormancy periods and follow
the soak and dry approach when the
succulents are actively growing.
Indoor succulents rarely experience
dormancy unless you force it by changing
the temperature dramatically along with
the amount of light they receive.
Without forcing dormancy indoors, you
may still notice a change in growing speed
throughout the year, though it likely won’t
correspond to the traditional dormancy
cycles like outdoor succulents.
