I live in a place with 300 sunny days a year, and my plants are situated outside my east-facing window in the Northern Hemisphere. I'm curious about how much sunlight is too much for them. Would getting morning sun be sufficient? I'm also contemplating moving them to a south-facing garden, but I'm worried that it might be too intense during the summer months.

The amount of sunlight your plants can handle really depends on your climate and latitude. Generally, continuous sunlight isn't a major issue, but extreme heat can be problematic. The hotter your area, the more cautious you should be about the health of your plants.
Absolutely! It's also important to consider the type of plants you have. For instance, Echeverias can handle direct sunlight quite well, up to about 95°F, but they must be well-established. On the flip side, String of Pearls prefers indirect sun and can struggle if it gets too hot, especially around 80°F. So, check the specific needs of your plants!
