Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my aeonium have Sunburn?
Cause: Indoor-grown succulents adapted to 500-2000 lux (typical home lighting) face extreme photoinhibition risk when moved outdoors where direct sun exceeds 80,000-100,000 lux. The magnitude of this light intensity jump (40-200x increase) overwhelms photosynthetic capacity regardless of species' ultimate sun tolerance. Even desert-native succulents require acclimation because indoor cultivation selects for shade-adapted phenotypes with thinner cuticles.
Solution: Phase 1 (Days 1-3): Full shade location with bright ambient light but zero direct beams
Prevention: For any indoor-to-outdoor transition: Start in full shade (under tree canopy or north-facing patio) for 3-5 days, then progress to bright shade, filtered sun, morning sun, and finally full exposure over 2+ weeks. Use a physical barrier (shade cloth at 70%, then 50%, then 30%) rather than relying on timing alone.
