Cacti Indoors vs. Outdoors: Light Is the Deciding Factor

General Rule

Most cacti/succulents do poorly indoors due to insufficient light.

Compensation

  • Grow lights (full spectrum, 14+ hrs/day).
  • Even then, some species refuse indoor life.

Best Practice

Outdoors in sun (with climate adaptation) > indoors with lights > indoors without lights.
