When and where to drop shot. Seasonally, there's no time of the year that one dropshot variation or another won't work to some extent. But there are times and places when it's the odds on choice.
6 Hours of Sunlight. When succulents are indoors itâs often hard for them to get enough sunlight. They generally about 6 hours a day. Youâll want to keep your plants as close to the window as you can, but be careful not to let them get sunburned if the light from the window gets too hot.
I plant echeveria, kalanchoe, and other succulents in troughs. What is interesting is that these non-hardy succulents can tolerate quite low temperatures. I keep mine in an unheated porch at about 35 degrees and they come through the winter just fine. Echeverias also work well as houseplants on sunny sills at normal room temperatures.
