Do Grow Lights Help Bring Out Stress Colors in Succulents?

Asked By SucculentSensei92 On

I have an Echeveria Red Knight and an Echeveria Ice Green. I'm wondering if I need to place them in my brightest window to see their stress colors, or if using grow lights will do the trick. Has anyone had success with this?

I've been using Barrina T5 grow lights, and they've really helped my succulents, especially my echeverias, show their stress colors. Echeverias typically need a lot of light, and just sunlight from a window usually isn't strong enough for them. If you use a good grow light and keep them close enough, you should definitely see some vibrant colors!

That's awesome to hear! Do you think this grow light I found on Amazon would work? It seems decent, but I'm not sure how long it takes for them to really start showing stress colors.
