Below are the current succulents I have! I generally have a black thumb, but I’m trying to change that. Any gotchas to keep in mind when taking care of succulents? I already learned the hard way that I need to keep the dwarf jade indoors because direct sun causes the leaves to brown.

If you’re looking for lights for succulents look into weed lights (AKA Cannabis grow lights). The LED fixtures throw A LOT of light and are generally cheaper than plant grow lights. Amazon has a number of them.
Hell, depending on what you want to grow you could repurpose a cheap weed plant “greenhouse” which is a wire frame and some reflective material. Amazon has a number of those for your home.
Specifically for the echeveria - they need a lot of light or they get etiolated. I had to give up on trying to grow them because of that (unless you like tall gangly plants lol).
Yeah I’ve noticed that one growing a little taller lately, been putting it in direct sun so hopefully that helps it out! But yeah my current goal is to keep them alive first, so if the plant gets unnaturally tall but still otherwise happy I’ll take that as a win.
