@MercifulMostii Oh, perfect! If you're only getting about 3 hours of sunlight then you're golden!

If you know that you're going to have a 90+ degree day I would go ahead and give em some water the day before. If the temps are consecutively hot it'll need watered more often.

Interestingly, and maybe it's just a coincidence, by watering the way I have my succulents have had a lot of growth during the past month.
It’s says you can do either or full day or half day but if you do full sun make sure you have some shade for when the sun is the hottest that day. I would follow the greg app tbh it’s been very helpful
@PlantParentz I want the ghost look. Very light in color
Sooo this depends. South or West direct sunlight all day long is going to be too much and cause it to turn colors (which is pretty, but not natural) and eventually burn.

I have my succulents on a west facing porch that gets sunlight as soon as the sun hits the tree line. Thankfully, I have an awning, I had to pull them back closer to the house because they were burning.

Attached is an example of one the sunburned succulents - it did this when it was getting 5+ hours of sunlight. It was originally a much darker burn.
Mine are in my greenhouse and they get direct sunlight. I think they are doing well! There are a few that aren't ghost plants, they are more green.
@PerfectPinkpoui I live in Indiana. The only direct light is from west. Probably at most 3 hours. They are on the front porch but gets hot. So far so good with all my sun lovers
This is the example pic when I bought it from the seller
@PerfectPinkpoui thank you!
