Hi, do these need direct sun? Also, do you sell pots to put them in? I'm looking for a project for preschoolers to paint plants and then gift these.

They are baby cacti so they need sun but not too much sun. As they get older, they will need as much sun as they can get. I don't know if they sell pots. They arrive in little plastic things. You can get little clay pots for them at any Home Depot or Lowe's Garden Department for about 80 cents to $1 each. That or goodwill is where I got all of my.

Hi sir from having bambos for years they need a small amount of direct light so my opinion I would think they would be fine just try not to get them to close to the light and always keep a possive additud yeah they love that oh if the bamboo starts changing color to a lighter green it needs real Sun so watch it close it could die so catch it first sign of disscolor and there you have it you will do great thank you hope I helped ya good growing

I live in Northern Arkansas. I put my plants in full sun but watch the water level. Yesterday the temp on my deck read 107 after I had watered the soil. No problem. I also have one under the deck cover and it is doing well also. I haven't tried them indoors, but they seem to like the sun here. Good luck.

Mine does not have the sun on top. Very disappointed! Why not sell them separately -- with or without a sun? I feel misled. Ordered it because of the sun on top.

Mine are on my patio and do not receive direct sunlight, but they must get enough diffused light because they work great and I have had them almost a year. My only complain is the colors fade after a while, but that doesnt matter as much when the lights are on, and for the price they are great!

You need several hours of sunlight, probably a continuous cycle of sunlight during several days. It will burn weakly but goes out after a few hours if the sun has not recharged them totally. Other than that I like the lights, the light produced when fully charged and being able to place where I want light.

I see no reason why you can't put them directly into the soil, but use a broom stick to poke a hole in the soil since these are fragile. The soil would absorb the heat before it got to the plant.

To be honest I ordered this collection couple of months ago. To this day they have not made it to terrarium. They are in same pots and are doing just fine. I have them for now on my back porch in the shade and water as needed. I think they're great even though I didn't get any of the ones pictured.

Ulla, I have grown these in pots so I can bring them inside in the winter. I wouldn't keep them out when the temperatures are consistently below 45.

Mine seem to be doing okay but I make sure they get 6 to 8 hours of sun daily. Sometimes I have to move them when the seasons change but it has worked for me so far.

Generally they don't do well indoors especially with dry heat in the Winter. I would order these in the Spring and then pot them outside

Hi, sarann. I planted mine in dense shade with a lot of water and dappled shade with less water. The heavy shade grew profusely but didn't bloom much. The dappled shade were sparser but bloomed and that was the only area that had any come back this year. So you will see some growth regarless of how much shade they have. I wish that I had bought multiple packs and mixed them with seed starter or sand to spread them out more and get more coverage.

Begonias do well in sun that I've planted in these pouches or you can plant impatients that need shade that I've used also. Flowers do not come with the pouches. I believe tiny petunias were planted in a mini pouch shown in the photo which need full to partial sun. I reuse the pouches every year and they make great gifts. Hope that helps.

i think it would be fine, theyre not are not too hot and and depending on the temperature require of the reptile or amphibian you can always double or triple up, i have a set up where during the day i run 3 of them with a UVB bulb to get the correct temperature and sunlight vitamins and at night i just turn the UVB and and one sunglo off and they give off a soft enough light to use asa night time setting and a nighttime temp without dropping too low

Not sure if you can convert them. I bought mine (4 of them) earlier this year to accent four cornersof a landscape box I built. They receive about 6-8 hours of sun per day and are still lit when I goto the gym/work at 4:00 a.m. At $14 each, not sure the conversion would make sense, but hey anythingis possible. Certainly a quality base/foundation to begin with.

I kept mine in their original pots for a few days. I put them on a tray since the pots have holes and I watered them. Hope that helps!

Yes, this is what my wife purchased them for. However...and as Ellen G. stated, they need to get adequate sunlight. This was a problem in our house in the location where my wife intended. Another thing to beware of is the watering issue. With a wall design, one might use an array of small containers to hold the plants individually; it's likely that such containers won't have drainage holes. Be very careful with over-watering the plants without drainage to the soil else you will quickly find dead succulents from root rot!
