Cacti are adapted to thrive in intense sunlight and can typically handle full sun exposure for most of the day. Depending on the species, they can often tolerate 10 to 14 hours of direct sunlight daily. However, young or newly planted cacti may require some shade to acclimate and prevent sunburn. It's essential to consider the specific needs of the cactus species you have, as some may prefer partial shade in extremely hot climates.
