Succulents Get Sunburned Easily in Summer: Grow These 4 Chubby, Cute Succulents and Summer Is No Pressure

In recent years, many flower lovers have taken up growing succulents. They are small and exquisite, chubby and super cute, with very high ornamental value, and they are very easy to grow. But once summer comes, many succulent growers complain a lot. With the slightest carelessness, the chubby succulents get cooked by the summer heat.

Today Hua'er will introduce 4 kinds of succulents suitable for care in summer, bringing a different feeling to this restless summer.

1. White Peony (Graptoveria 'Titubans')

White Peony is a relatively common succulent and belongs to the Crassulaceae family. Its leaves are grayish-white or grayish-green, with a thin layer of white powder on the surface.

White Peony has no obvious dormancy period. It likes light, and the greater the temperature difference between day and night, the better it grows and the more glossy its leaves are. Even in summer it can grow very well. Its body contains sufficient water, so it does not need to be watered too frequently. Just water it each time you see signs of the potting soil drying and cracking. It does not necessarily need to be watered thoroughly. Fertilizer should not be excessive. Applying some compound fertilizer or phosphorus and potassium fertilizer once a month is enough. Do not apply too much nitrogen fertilizer, as it easily causes leggy growth.

2. Gem Flower (Echeveria)

Gem Flower is a representative of the Crassulaceae Echeveria genus. Its leaves are thick like gems, and multiple branches of leaves overlap and cluster together, closely resembling a lotus flower. It is called "the flower that never withers" and is very suitable for growing on windowsills, in living rooms, on office desks, and other places.

Gem Flower is very tolerant of high temperatures and strong sun, but in summer, avoid exposing it to blazing sun, which will cause the leaves to age, lose their luster, and reduce their ornamental value. It does not need too much water or fertilizer. You can water it thoroughly when the potting soil shows signs of drying and cracking, and apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer once a month, and it will grow very well.

3. Jiwa Lotus (Echeveria 'Chihuahuaensis')

Jiwa Lotus is a star among succulents. Its leaves are ovate with pointed tips, the leaf color is light green with a layer of white powder on the surface, and the leaf margins have a beautiful deep pink color. It is very popular.

Jiwa Lotus grows in spring and autumn, but because it grows slowly, fertilizer should not be excessive. Applying phosphorus and potassium fertilizer at most once a month is enough. In summer, when the temperature exceeds 30 degrees C, you need to control its water. Water less and do not water thoroughly. Water in the morning or evening.

4. Peach Beauty (Pachyphytum 'Amethystinum')

Peach Beauty turns pink in an environment with ample sunlight and a large temperature difference between day and night, and is therefore loved by many flower lovers. Peach Beauty has a short, thick stem, and its fleshy leaves grow alternately. It is chubby and very cute.

Peach Beauty likes a warm, dry environment with ample light. It has no obvious dormancy period and can accept strong light. In summer it can still grow very well, but avoid placing it in a high-temperature, high-humidity environment, otherwise it will cause the leaves to rot.
