Place your succulents in a warm, sunny area for propagation, but not in direct sunlight. They will use the light and warmth to grow, but too much sun will bake the succulents and negatively affect the propagation and sprouting process. Similarly, don’t hide your propagating succulents in a shady area, as this will also slow root growth. The perfect place for succulents to propagate is within an area with bright sunshine, but not sitting in the direct sun.
