If you want succulents to have vivid colors, then there must be a large enough temperature difference. But many flower lovers do not have a big temperature difference where they are, so it has to be created artificially!
Steps:
1. Put the succulents in the fridge. It is best to use those common, inexpensive varieties that are easy to propagate, such as Sedum adolphi and Echeveria chihuahuaensis.
2. Set the fridge's refrigerated temperature to about 3-6°C, then put the succulents in a plastic bag, or you can choose not to bag them and just put them directly into the fridge's refrigerated compartment.
3. After leaving the succulents in the fridge overnight, take them out and first place them in a cool, ventilated spot indoors to let them adjust, then put them under the sun for full exposure.
4. After a day of full sun exposure, put the succulents back into the fridge's refrigerated compartment, and then repeat this cycle over and over.
5. It takes only about half a month before you can see the succulents start to show a slight change in condition. As long as you keep at it, one day they will definitely turn bright red!
Note: As for the method of putting them in the fridge to increase the temperature difference, some flower lovers succeeded in testing it, while others failed. Flower lovers, please choose this method with caution.
Spray succulents with a bit of ice water and they turn bright red!

For flower lovers who do not dare to test the previous method, Huahua will teach you a safer method, which is to spray your succulents with a bit of ice water. This can also achieve the effect of increasing the temperature difference!
Steps:
1. Leave tap water at room temperature for 1-2 days to remove the chlorine from the water, then put it in the fridge's refrigerated compartment. After the water temperature keeps dropping, take it out and pour it into a spray bottle, or directly put ice cubes into water and let them melt naturally.
2. After the succulents have been in full sun for a day, bring them indoors, then spray them with ice water. Spray once every evening, and each time make sure every succulent leaf is sprayed.
3. It takes only about 1-2 weeks before the succulent leaves, under a large enough temperature difference, will turn bright red!
Spray succulents with a bit of carrot water and the colors get more and more vivid!

Finally, Huahua will teach everyone one more little trick for coloring succulents, which is to spray a bit of carrot water!
Steps:
1. Go to the supermarket and buy a fresh carrot, wash it clean, cut it into small pieces, then put it in a pot with hot water and boil it until cooked. After that, take the carrot out and keep the remaining carrot water to water the succulents.
2. Put the carrot water into a clean plastic bottle, seal it, and let it ferment. Open the lid about every 3-5 days to let air in, and after about half a month it will be fully decomposed.
3. Mix the fully decomposed carrot water with clean water at a 1:1 ratio to make a solution, put it in a spray bottle and spray it directly on the succulents. Spray about once every 2-3 days, and after using it 5 times, you will find that the green succulent leaves begin to gradually take on color!
Give succulents more sun so they can get redder and redder!

In addition to the above few little tricks, daily care must also be paid attention to.
1. If you want succulents to color up quickly, they must get more sun. If conditions allow, growing them outdoors is best, or put them on a south-facing balcony, south-facing windowsill, or other place with good light. Only with enough sun can the colors be vivid.
2. Be careful to control water. In spring, watering once every 7-10 days is just right. Do not water too much, otherwise the leaves will rot black and turn to mush, and they will die in no time. How could they still show good condition?
That is all Huahua will introduce today.
Flower lovers, hurry up and give it a try,
and strive to grow bright red succulents as soon as possible!
