In the quest to fill every aspect of your home with succulents, you're going to eventually run out of window space. That's when the fat plants will begin to invade interior rooms that aren't blessed with the sun's light.
We’ve done the hard work for you and put together ideas of some of the best succulents for indoors that don't need sun. But first, let’s talk about low light succulents and what it takes for them to thrive.
The exact amount of light needed by any indoor plant will vary according to species. Some species of succulents, especially cactus, will do well in direct sunlight, while others may be sunburned by the same light conditions.
Whenever you bring home a new plant, it’s always a good idea to do your research to see if that species of succulent prefers direct sunlight or bright indirect light instead.
No succulent will survive with a complete lack of light.
However, this varies by species. Some succulents, such as the ones on this list will grow well in low light environments while others may need more light in order to thrive.
It’s important to be aware that if your plants aren’t getting enough light, they may etiolate, or stretch out. Etiolation occurs when plants try to reach areas with more light.
Etiolation doesn’t hurt your plants; it just looks a little funny. If your plant becomes etiolated and you don’t like its new stretched-out appearance, you can always behead it and propagate the top in hopes of growing a succulent that looks more like it should.
