What's the Light Level for Your Succulents?
Asked by PlantL0ver99
I'm curious about the light levels everyone uses for their succulents! What does your light meter or app show in terms of lux or foot candles where you keep your plants?
Answers
I think the lowest light level you’d want is around 600-800 lux, but ideally, you’re looking at 1500-2000 lux for optimal growth. That seems to be the sweet spot!

I can't really measure umols where I am, so I just trust the bulb's claims for now, haha.

In my setup, I recently got some new lights that give me readings between 350-650 ppfd/umol, but my top shelf is a bit lower between 50-100 umols until I upgrade the lighting.

PlantL0ver99: Yeah, I agree! I usually see around 600 for the lower end too, but my best readings go up to about 2200!
