Would artificial light work?

Not sure if it has the intensity (HPS maybe). I know that lots of good direct sun even through midday worked for me. The plant would have to be acclimatized to that exposure for sure though.

That's an expensive option.

My succulents do very well under T5HO.

I have one that's flowering. I keep it under lights, fairly dry and cool in the winter, and it goes out in full sun in the summer. I fertilize it with slow release pellets it and water once a week if there's no rain.
It's a cultivar called 'Silver Ridge' and I've had it for 2 years.

The flowers haven't opened yet. I'll try and get photos when they do.

...I know this is old but what do you have that plant growing in Hal? I have a bunch of Aloe Vera's that I've had for years and they have declined since my last repot. My soil is probably way too rich. My Sarracenia Purpurea (from somewhere in Newfoundland) seeds that you sent me a while back are waking up quite nicely. Thank You!
AV.
