Yes, mature jade plants can tolerate full sun, but younger jade plants prefer bright, indirect light.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Mature Jade Plants: Mature jade plants can generally handle direct sunlight and often thrive in it, especially outdoors.
-
Young Jade Plants: Young jade plants are more sensitive to direct sunlight and can get scorched. They prefer bright, indirect light.
-
Light Requirements: All jade plants need at least six hours of sunlight per day to thrive. Without enough light, they can become leggy or stop growing altogether.
-
Adapting to Sunlight: If you're moving a jade plant from a low-light environment to full sun, do so gradually to prevent sun damage.
In summary, while mature jade plants can enjoy full sun, it's crucial to protect young plants from intense, direct rays. Provide ample light, but monitor your plant's condition and adjust as needed.
