So if you live in an area that experiences long hours of intense sunlight - your Echeveria would be best placed in an area with light afternoon shade - as although intense sunlight will not kill the plant - it will spoil its looks - because the foliage of any Echeveria is easily burnt by very strong intense sunlight.
