Echeveria 'Daehapjeon' (Daehapjeon), Daehapjeon likes plenty of light and can take full sun, but during the intense heat of summer it should be shaded appropriately, as this makes its leaf color more red and vividly mottled; if the color between the leaves turns green, that means Daehapjeon is not getting enough light. Daehapjeon is very drought-tolerant and can withstand sustained drought. During the growing season it needs plenty of water, so that Daehapjeon grows more robustly. It likes a well-ventilated environment, which helps it avoid disease.

Aeonium 'Zwartkop' (Black Aeonium, Black Aeonium), Black Aeonium likes a warm, dry environment with plenty of sunlight and is drought-tolerant. Spring and autumn are its peak growing seasons. During the high temperatures of summer, Black Aeonium will drop a few leaves, but this does not affect its growth. Be sure to keep it well ventilated, reduce watering, place it where the sun cannot shine directly, and put it in a cool spot indoors as much as possible.

Echeveria 'Pretty in Pink' (Pink Beauty, Pink Beauty), Pink Beauty likes a dry environment and should not be watered too much. During the growing season, give it a moderate amount of water. Summer is its dormant period, so water must be strictly controlled, with shading and shelter from the sun; there must be no standing water in the pot, as it can cause root rot. In winter, watering should also be reduced; keeping the soil on the drier side helps it survive the winter safely.
