Does common houseleek need a lot of sun?
Generally speaking, common houseleek needs sufficient scattered light, which should be bright and transparent. If there is not sufficient sunlight for a long time, the plant will be spindling, the tissue will become brittle, and the original color will fade slowly. As a result, the plant will grow into a loose shape, the color will turn green and yellow, and disease resistance will decline.
Strong sunlight in summer may burn its leaves and stems. When exposed to too much sun, common houseleek tends to grow slowly or even stop growing. Occasionally, its leaves may grow compactly and internodes shorten, which results in a shorter plant. For some succulent plants, their old leaves wither in summer and new leaves tend to be short and compact, showing a bare rod shape as a whole. In summer, you can set up a sunshade or move the potted plant indoors.
