The summer-surviving champion is this flower; the hotter it gets, the more it grows, plump and chubby as if it has become a spirit

Graptopetalum 'Purple Delight'

Graptopetalum 'Purple Delight', also known as Ziyue, is a succulent in the Crassulaceae family, Graptopetalum genus. It loves sunlight, and in summer it tolerates high temperatures and sun better than other succulents

1. Leaf propagation of Graptopetalum 'Purple Delight'

As long as the temperature does not exceed 36°C, you can still propagate from leaves. Lay the leaves flat on sandy soil (other breathable soil works too), mist them with water every 1-2 days, and mist a little less on rainy days

2. Everyday care

Graptopetalum 'Purple Delight' is very suited to outdoor growing. Normally you can just place it on a balcony or windowsill. In summer, it is best to water once every 3-5 days. With proper water control, it can grow into an old stem in a single summer

Echeveria 'Purpusorum'

Echeveria 'Purpusorum' looks sturdy and solid, and its heat resistance is also strong. The one below was grown by a plant lover in Hainan on a south-facing balcony, with plump leaves and a lively color

1. Leaf propagation of Echeveria 'Purpusorum'

Echeveria 'Purpusorum' can be propagated from leaves, but its growth rate is relatively slow, so you need to be patient. During leaf propagation, do not expose it to sun; just keep it indoors, otherwise the leaves easily dehydrate and shrivel

2. Everyday care of Echeveria 'Purpusorum'

Echeveria 'Purpusorum' is rather "juicy." In summer, heat makes evaporation fast, so it needs frequent misting. But if the water amount is not controlled well, it easily turns to mush or develops black rot. Do not be afraid. Once you spot it, cut it off right away. It has strong vitality and will grow new leaves again

Echeveria 'Hakuhou'

Echeveria 'Hakuhou' is a hybrid offspring of Echeveria laui and Echeveria 'Crispate Beauty,' and it can be said to have inherited the strengths of both. Not only does it grow large and strong, but its leaf surface also has a white coating that makes it more sun-tolerant

1. Propagation of Echeveria 'Hakuhou'

Propagation of Echeveria 'Hakuhou' still relies on beheading. Leaf propagation is simply too slow, while beheading and cuttings are not only fast but also have a higher survival rate

2. Everyday care of Echeveria 'Hakuhou'

In summer, Echeveria 'Hakuhou' does not need special shading, and it should not be watered too much; once a week is enough. When watering, be careful not to spray, as that easily removes its white coating. It is better to pour water directly into the potting soil

Aeonium 'Zwartkop'

The dark-toned Aeonium 'Zwartkop' is a relatively classic variety that is easy to get through summer. Many plant lovers have one at home

1. Cuttings of Aeonium 'Zwartkop'

Aeonium 'Zwartkop' cannot be propagated from leaves; it needs stem cuttings. First choose a branch from the current year's growth, as this roots and survives more easily. Do not choose a branch that has already become woody

Insert the cutting into breathable granular soil, water thoroughly, then place it in a cool, ventilated spot and water once every 3-5 days. It will generally root in about 1-2 weeks

2. Everyday care of Aeonium 'Zwartkop'

Although Aeonium 'Zwartkop' gets through summer easily, it also goes dormant. The sign of dormancy is that the leaves curl up into a rose shape. At this time, shade it appropriately and control water, and be sure to keep your hands off it

Jelly Red Ruby

The succulent Red Ruby is a very easy variety to grow. Once exposed to sunlight, it turns red, easily forms clusters with multiple heads, and is easy to grow in summer

1. Leaf propagation of Red Ruby

Red Ruby is very easy to propagate from leaves. Just place the leaves in moist potting soil and mist once every 3-5 days. It generally roots in about 1-2 weeks. Be careful to do this in a cool, ventilated place

2. Everyday care of Red Ruby

Red Ruby is very easy to care for. Just place it in a ventilated spot at home, on a balcony or windowsill. If the temperature exceeds 36°C, shade it at noon to avoid sunburn

Sedum 'Little Beauty'

No matter the season, Sedum 'Little Beauty' needs hardly any care, and it fills the pot quickly. If you want to fill a flowerpot, choose it

1. Leaf propagation of Sedum 'Little Beauty'

Sedum 'Little Beauty' has propagation power stronger than a mouse. Even in summer you can give it a try, and it will absolutely produce pups. During leaf propagation, make sure it is cool and ventilated

2. Everyday care of Sedum 'Little Beauty'

Sedum 'Little Beauty' is easy to grow, but if you want it to look its best, you still need to put in some effort. With proper water control, its leaves become plump, and with more sunlight it colors up into a "girly pink"
