Do You Keep Succulents Inside or Outside?
Most succulents do best in a zone 9 or 10 when outdoors. If you're growing succulents indoors and (like me) don't have a lot of natural light in your home, then you'll want to look for plants that tolerate low light. Most Haworthias and Gasterias are great in low light.

Where should I keep my succulents?

Place the potted succulent in a sunny location. Most succulents prefer at least 6 hours of sun per day, so try to place them near a south- or east-facing window. You may notice your succulents becoming spindly or stretching toward the light if they don't get enough sun.
