Some succulents can be successfully grown indoors, when placed in a bright, sunny window. A sunny south or west window is best. In rooms with insufficient light, you can place succulents under artificial lighting. A fluorescent lightfixture containing one cool white and one warm white tube provides adequate light for succulents and otherhouseplants. Position the fixture 6 to 12 inches abovethe plants and keep them lit for 12 to 16 hours daily. You can water thoroughly now and then wait 4-5 weeks before watering again. Indoors, succulents do not need a lot of water, especially in the winter time. Hope this information helps!
