 is this the right thread to ask about keeping succulents indoors?

i'm pretty new to it and just set up a shelf with some led lights from amazon. ppfd readings seem to have it around the level of daylight broken up by clouds/trees/etc so i think they're good in that respect. right now it's just a few jade stems , a chenille, and an african bonsai

is there a good basic intro to succulents somewhere? how much to water, what/how often to feed, stuff like that. i'm comfortable growing veggies and such but i feel like succulents have very different requirements

It is.

Anyone who is willing to give you specific watering advice is someone you shouldn't really listen to, but there's some general stuff half way down the second post of the thread about what to grow succulents in and how to water them.

For fertilizing any general purpose fertilizer will probably be fine (I use Osmocote because I don't like having to reapply often) but some succulents are sensitive little babies so the standard advice is to apply at half the rate the manufacturer reccomends.

great info, thanks very much

 i have a chinese evergreen sitting in indirect light a couple feet from a lamp and it seems to be pretty happy, it's slowly growing and unfurling new leaves
