Succulents for a shady hall windowsill

[SimonR]

I’ve had some success with haworthias and a gasteria on my kitchen windowsill (W facing) - see attached pictures. Can anyone suggest some more succulents that will thrive on a shady windowsill. Thanks

The smaller growing epiphytic cacti such as Hatiora rosea or Schlumbergera opuntioides will do very well on a shady windowsill indoors providing they aren’t exposed to sudden changes in temperature

Crassula ovata? There was a huge one in an east facing window in my old workplace for decades.

Mine has been fine in our living room for the past couple of years.

I thought I’d get a bit of colour on mine earlier in the year by putting it in the conservatory. Scorched it to within an inch of its life… it’ll be a few years before it looks ok again but at least it didn’t die!

It always surprised me how little light the one at work got, yet it never looked etiolated or unhappy in any way. We think it had been there since the 60s and had a trunk of about 8" diameter when we relocated in 2003. No idea where it went. The Monstera that had been in the work canteen since 1958 followed us and is still alive despite patchy care.
