Despite widespread belief, most succulents do not thrive if blasted with the hottest temps and the fullest sun exposure.

Can you leave succulents outside in the rain?
A little rain won’t harm healthy succulents and cacti. In fact, even a lot of rain can be beneficial to your garden. As a general rule, succulents prefer infrequent but deep water. A heavy rain might be just what your plants need to look perky and vibrant after a dry or hot spell.
