Mine is at the edge of a shady garden so gets probably a couple of hours of direct sun. I think it would prefer less direct sun but she's blooming :-) I noticed the blooms are a darker color this year, I wonder if it was the alfalfa pellets? I rooted cuttings from Carrie in the pot with my pencil cactus and I have never potted them in their own pot.

Thank you! Just what I needed :+) c

My shrimp, white, orange, and maroon, are in full shun but have evening shade. They get a little crispy in summer, and needed fertilizer and extra water to encourage them into the deeper shade areas. Once there, bloomed and so forth just fine.

I`ve got several types, some in full sun, some in shade, they prefer the sun.
Tally HO!

Thanks, Mine is still in its little pot. I'll treat it like the lemon lollipops and give it sun. c

Shrimp plants are among the plants recommended by Scott Ogden for dry shade and for that I value them. They'll do okay in sun too, but need more water as mentioned above. I grow them in everything from shade, dappled sun, morning sun and afternoon sun.

Here's 'Fruit Cocktail' grown in morning sun ...

This yellow shrimp gets about 3 to 4 hours of sun a day ...

Shrimps are very versatile plants. They'll bloom in just about any conditions. In mild winters they bloom 12 months of the year.
