light requirements
Posted: Wed Jan 25, 2012 10:04 pm
The light intensity throughout my greenhouse is not the same everywhere. Some areas get more direct sunlight and some get more shade. I'm trying to determine which of the following genera (if any) will tend to do well with less sunlight than others:
Ancistrocactus / Sclerocactus
Ariocarpus
Astrophytum
Coryphantha
Echinocereus
Echinomastus
Echinopsis / Lobivia
Eriosyce
Escobaria
Gymnocalycium
Mammillaria
Parodia/Notocactus
Rebutia
Turbinicarpus
I do keep my echinopsis hybrids out of the hottest and brightest afternoon sunlight. I've already scorched a couple so I learned that pretty quick.
Any advice is much appreciated.
