I haven’t been using grow lights, I’m just using natural light. Now I know why some of my plants are so tall and gangly. Great information and love that you actually show what works!
Have about 300 succulents, moved them into my garage in October for the winter. Live in North Texas. I use grow lights square purchased from Amazon. They hang about 14 inches from succulents. Have a mix of species, love them all. Would not have been able to set up without Casey's great information. My daughter set up tent frame and three tables. My succulents gave me a goal after near death surgery.
I didn’t realize hawthorias aren’t a fan of direct sunlight so that’s something I will fix right now. So it’s good to know going forward. I plan to set up a grow light/shelving area for the succulents during the winter later this year. It would be great to see different ideas of innovative plant stands with grow lights for indoors.
I'm going to provide a little bit of shade for my Hawortrias out in my Succulent Garden, however they seem to be happy where they are. I have a Large "Starfish" Aloe vera" then some smaller Aloes and then my the Group of "Hawortrias". Two are blooming right now. But if you recommend a little bit of shade for them I can plant something like a"Rosemary" to give it a little bit of shade come July/August - Las Vegas Nevada. Thank You for the advice/information. Sincerely Yours 🤠 Mr Severance, "The Cake 😋🍰🥫🎂🥳🎈🎉 Man", "World 🌎🌍 Cruiser"&"Succulent Collector".
Living in Kansas has problems with heat, cold, and high humidity in the summer. This last winter was my first experiment with growing outdoor hardy succulents and nonhardy ones under grow lights. We had an unusual cold snap of temps below zero and I thought my outdoor plants would be dead for sure, but I'm pleased to say about half of them made it! It is so hard to find the right shade for them in the summer; it's either full shade or sun. I think the full sun hurt them more than full shade. My indoor plants did fine. My panda plant is even blooming! It has a green pitcher shaped flower about the same size as a leaf. My panda plants don't have the darker toes either, but other than that they seem to be happy.
thank you for shedding some light with regards to growlight use. i was wondering this past few week why my succulent is stretching out. and you answer it on point. thank you again.
Just starting my succulent collection so don't have any that are stretching yet. Hopefully now that I have watched this video I can be proactive instead of reacting. All advice is welcomed.
I have put several small hens and chick from the same plant in separate pots in various locations. It was very interesting to see how they reacted to different light exposure. Some got very leggy.some got longer leaves while others got beautiful tint of red colour and stayed compact.
Thank you so much for this info! I knew about haworthia's, but the String of Dolphins was new to me, WOW! Now I know why my plant is struggling a bit. And LED lights work YAY! I can bring a few plants to my work! THANK YOU!
I have all my succulents inside with grow lights. Now that we are moving into summer, I’m going to move outside on the patio.cant wait to see if there is a difference.
There is so much to learn. I want to say that I am a newbie, but I bought my first plants last spring. Had them on my sunny deck all summer. I didn't know how to care for them when I brought them inside. You are very helpful.
I have some succulents I have been growing inside for years. They get tall especially in the winter months. I cut them off once or twice a year and create new succulent planters for my friends and get a new shape going. I thought the lengthiness was just do to their nature. Very interesting video. More please.
Very informative video. I just got my first grow light and am experimenting with it on my indoor succulents. I hope it goes well, and that they are survive and grow over the winter months.
I have growlights since Christmas and my succulents are slowly transforming, I am so happy! I have a similar setup to yours, about 20cm from the top, 12h a day- only on a windowsill so I have a little of fiddling to do now that the real sun is showing up...
I need a system like this! It's so cool and inspiring! I just need more space in my little condo. Anyways it's good to see the differences in how much sunlight different succulents need
I’m using barinna T5 grow lights for my succulents right now and I think they like it! Like you, I also changed the timer on my grow lights from 12 hours to 14 hours.
I have my succulents under full spectrum grow lights on the brightest setting for 12 hours a day and they're stretching so badly. Except the crassula. The echeveria, kalanchoe, and others are all so stretched out, but the crassula are fine. I haven't known what to do for them. I'm glad you pointed out that the distance may make a difference.
Thank you very informative. I have to bring nearly half of my succulents in for the winter, I only have two good windows so grow lights might be in order. But the video was also helpful in knowing where to place different plants nearer or farther to the window and what colors to look for.
I'm now going to rearrange my propagating tray to under a grow light and share this with my sister who has several plants in need of better lighting. Thanks so much for your helpful tips.
I USED TO HAVE A LOT OF PLANTS UNDER GROW LIGHTS BUT MY SUCCULENTS THAT I AM JUST GETTING INTO ARE JUST IN SOUTH FACING WINDOWS...THEY ARE DOING FAIRLY GOOD FOR JUST LEAVES WITH LITTLE SPROUTS. THANKS FOR ALL THE INFORMATION..
I honestly thought all succs liked sun! It's interesting to learn some like lower light. I have a small Gasteria that's fairly new to me. Good to know care tips!
I use grow lights in the winter. I do keep some succulents indoors, at my S facing window in spring and summer. Some I throw outside lol I thought that Ghosties were kind of like trailing succulents. I have a pot and they have started to cascade down the sides.
Thank you. Maybe I should try growing some inside it could be fun. Especially for propagation purposes. I’m lucky living in zone9b/10a, but I always struggle especially with leaf propagation.
Living in an apartment, there's just no space for anything but a very few indoor plants so I'm very blessed that I have a sufficiently wide balcony otherwise I would never be able to have more succulents. Also luckily there's no frost nor snow!!!
@@bobbiechinn9578 I don't live in US & when typhoon season comes, big rush to move all outdoor pots indoors no matter how crammed it already is otherwise gale force winds would blow them over, away, perhaps smash the full length glass doors. So not that lucky!!! Today's count 119 pots outdoors :)) a lot less than u!
Hi! What grow lights do you use?? I am moving to an apartment with North facing windows and I am looking for strip type lights for a shelf. Help please?
@@victoriachildress9684 Sorry can't help as I normally keep all outdoors with just a few indoors so no grow lights used. However, many FB succulent groups have such tips.
Wow! Didn't know some succulents don't like grow lights! This is nice to know and I prefer for succulents to be outside (easier care) BUT I'm still figuring out what works best for each succulent so this is nice to now😊 I'm a bit of a novice but hoping to get better😍 Your videos have really been helping, thanks!
Beautiful display of 'struggeling' succulents in your office!💕 Did you diy the rustic and gorgeous concrete pots? If so, can you show how to make them in a video?
I have made some concrete pots, but some were also purchased from Amazon here: #ad amazon.com/shop/succulentsandsunshine I'll add a DIY concrete pots video to my list though :) That would be fun!
I have been using grow lights for a while now and wondered why some of my plants were stretching. Thanks for the info! I will figure out a way to make them all happy!
Grow lights are on my wish list. I need to rewatch your grow light video. I will need to purchase lights and shelving as time and someone to help build isn't an option
i have a south-facing window and they get a lot of sun in the morning/noon but not in the afternoon. Good info to tuck away in case my succs start stretching!
Great info! I have most of my succulents under grow lights, and I've definitely seen how some prefer to be closer to the light than others. I have a handful that have stretched, and after setting them on something to raise them closer to the lights they are doing much better!
Thanks for providing such a specific and documented explanation of the impact of artificial lighting. This beats anything else I've seen on the subject!
I’ve had my succulents under grow lights for the winter. They are hanging in there, but nobody likes winter! Can’t wait until it warms up enough to get them back outside.
This was great and very informative. Do you think you can make a video showing portable grow lights (ie: ones with a clamp) for those who do not have the long lights under shelves. it would be helpful to see how you recommend setting those up. Also can you confirm that an LED in a regular lamp instead of a grow bulb can work as well. Thank you
This was very informative. I’ve discovered the same about the stretching under regular light and how much more compact they grow under lights. Thank you.
I am using grow lights (I hope) now. I got them as a Christmas gift. I still trying to figure out light for string of pearls and string of dolphins. Thank you for your info.
My hubby was getting a little touchy whenever I brought in a new 'baby' to my collection. So, I decided to buy one just for him. It was called "Grandpa's beard" and has fuzzy white all over the round plant. Not sure of the real name - the tag didn't give much info. Now he's getting into my love as well, but he's trying to rename my babies!! Thank goodness he's great at building anything - now I'll ask him to build a frame so I can have grow lights. Now they are all in a south window and seem happy there, but two could use more light I'm sure. Thanks for the info! PS - yesterday you covered getting water on baby leaves. What about full-grown plants? Can they tolerate water on their leaves?
So fun! It's nice having someone who can build anything 🙂 If the water is there for more than a day or so it can lead to rot. Succulents don't like to sit in water.
I know I probably shouldn't think this but I love the idea of a string of sting rays! I know it means the plant isn't as healthy as it should be but I just think if we could grow them as "sting rays" and have them be healthy that that would be so cool!
Loving your videos, you really give me hope! My echeveria black prince just died, i'm sure it was lack of sunlight... i only have a couole hours of direct sun light. I want to have them inside, with grow lights when I try again. I have a crassula campfire and it looks awful too...
Oh no sorry to hear about your black prince. Hopefully the info helps going forward. Yes using a grow light will definitely help with lack of sunlight 🙂
@@Succulentsandsunshine thanks ❤ sure! I'm doing the best i can, searching for information so next time it will be better. I have one grow light but it is that pink one, succulents dont like it much. I learned it from you
Do succulents know what season it is when they are under grow lights for the winter? I am confused about who should I fertilize as I begin to put them outside for the summer. Great videos 👍😊
No. Most succulents don't really go through dormancy indoors, though you may notice some times they grow faster than others. I would only fertilize about once per year indoors. You can get more details here: succulentsandsunshine.com/yt-fertilize
Thank you again for your information, so much knowledge, I haven’t started using grow lights yet but plan to after summer when I move my succulents back indoors. Rhonda
Great video! My dolphins did the same thing so I put it in a south facing window and they didn't flatten out as much but they still flattened a little bit. I have started putting it out in the sun during the day and taking it back inside at night because it's still a little bit too cold in Connecticut but my question is will the flattened Dolphins revert back to their normal shape once they get enough Sun? I know the new growth will grow in as Dolphins but if they're already flat will they curl up into a dolphin?
Great topic and content. Would like to see more videos of this nature given all the different types of grow lights on the market, all the various types of succulents, and all the various conditions they thrive under grow lights. I see lots and lots of videos geared toward reviewing the technical features and performance of grow lights, and w.r.t. a single dominant plant market (cannabis), but not a lot of video content going into details with raising succulents under grow lights.
I thought my set up was wrong when I saw a few succulents stretching even under my grow lights. Little did I know those succs were the type that do stretch no matter the light. That's how they are supposed to be. I felt so silly because I worried for months that I was a bad plant mom
I'd really love to have my succulents out where I can enjoy them- really a bummer that even in the high desert southern windows there isn't enough light. The biggest takeaway is that you really have to be an expert with many levels of grow lights!

It was great to see your succulent collection again!
Thank you!
I don’t use grow lights but this is really good to know as a succulent grower!

Grow lights are a total mystery to me - !this helped! Didn’t realize some succulents don’t like grow lights!
Really interesting to see what happened to the string of dolphins! Also now I know why my haworthia turned dark, I thought I killed it!
thank you for shedding some light with regards to growlight use. i was wondering this past few week why my succulent is stretching out. and you answer it on point. thank you again.
Glad it answered your question!
This is nice to know. I really need to get some grow lights, just not in the position to right now. This will be a video I'll have to look back on🙂
Thank you for the detailed information on grow lights. I may have to invest in a couple.
So far I have only used natural light outdoors, I will have to keep an eye on them and see how they all do.
Just starting my succulent collection so don't have any

Yes generally the more light the better with string of pearls and dolphins. We keep the grow lights on 12 hours a day.
Try a spider farmer led grow light. They are top notch and it really helps keep plants short and not stretching
Thanks for sharing about grow lights. Also interesting "full sun" may mean something different to the succulents.
Interesting!! I'll have to evaluate my indoor succulents
I absolutely LOVE your videos…they are all so informative. Since I am also in the Phx./ Scottsdale area all of mine succulents are outside for now.

If you plant ghost plants in SUPER lean soil , they’ll get pretty under your lights . Like 70% pumice or more . Mine do well if I do that.

Yes getting enough sun should help them revert to their more natural dolphin shape, but they may not look exactly like the new growth will.
