sun exposure
Posted: Thu Jan 19, 2012 7:01 pm
Hello everyone,
Might be a stupid question but here goes. Does Cacti need the same amount of sun exposure during the winter months as during the summer months? Im asking due to I purchased a large greenhouse inorder to move my cacti off my porch. During the summer, either porch or greenhouse they will/would get between 6 to 7 hours of indirect to direct sunlight. During winter and the angle of the sun, in the greenhouse they would get between 2 to 4 hours due to the trees but on the porch are receiving about 5 hours. I know as it cools off they tend to go dormant but when it comes to sunlight Im alittle in left field. I've had them on my porch for alittle over a year whereby they are doing great. Its just starting to get alittle crowded.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
