I live in Chicago, so growing them outdoors much of the year is not possible. My succulents do great in a South facing window, but a West facing window would probably work, too.

Good drainage, moderate feeding with food made for succulents, and not feeding them at all in winter have made all my varieties of succulents flourish.
