5 Succulents That Won't Get Leggy Without Full Sun!

Here in the northeastern US (NY/NJ area) we don't get hours upon hours of sunlight all year round, which can lead to some succulents looking very stretched out and "leggy". In this video I list 5 succulents that I have found to not look "leggy" or elongated without sunlight from a south-facing window.

(Please note that when I say "direct sun", I mean really strong sun that comes from being closer to the equator or from a south-facing window. So although I show my plants being directly next to the windows, they are still not getting that strong afternoon sun. Also, the majority of the time that I have had these plants I had them in a different apartment with very different light. So the plants have only been in their current locations from February until April.)

All things aside, in my experience these 5 plants can tolerate much lower light than other succulents, and have the added benefit of not looking stretched out (no offense if you like that look), and they can tolerate being watered a little more compared to OTHER succulent genera. (That doesn't mean you can water them the same way you would water a non-succulent plant.) Basically they all just need indirect bright light or direct light from an east, west, or even north window.

Please let me know if this was helpful, or if I totally missed important information. But keep in mind, this is NOT an instructional care video. If you'd like to learn more about the plants in this video, you can research them online, leave me a comment, or request a more specific video.
