How to Keep Succulents From Losing Their Color in Summer? Sharing 3 Years of Care Experience

Keeping succulents alive through summer is hard, especially in the "free-shipping region," and it can no longer be described as merely "the pain of cabbage colors." Growing succulents requires flexibly referring to the advice of all the experts; once your care skills are up to par, even in the free-shipping region, where getting through summer is so hard, you can still bring out their colors. Let's take a look below at summer-survival experience from the free-shipping region: after 3 years of growing succulents, how do you keep them from fading in summer?

Buying and selling is risky, so be careful in summer

Having finished the miscellaneous talk, let's discuss what we need to pay attention to with the succulents in our hands. I am not a master; I can only share my limited experience. I am not very familiar with many varieties, so I can only share some useful experience from those I have grown.

All kinds of bear paws, Cotyledon orbiculata 'Ping Pong', and Sedum clavatum 'Laru' (less water and shade; if necessary, bring them straight back indoors and turn on a fan, because high temperatures will make them drop leaves continuously, so you must avoid high heat, high heat, high heat)

Anacampseros and Pachyphytum 'Peach Egg' (control water and shade; morning and evening sun is fine, but be sure to avoid the sun from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.; if sunburn appears, promptly bring them back indoors for ventilation and shade, and wait until they recover before exposing them to sun again). Peach Egg seedlings under 1 year old can absolutely be brought back in and grown with ventilation (if conditions allow, you can take them out at 3 p.m. and bring them back at 9 a.m.)

Echeveria agavoides and Echeveria 'Ebony' types (less water and controlled growing. In summer, try not to grow these succulents plump; the plumper they are, the greater the risk. They themselves are relatively easy to grow, but with more water under high temperatures they easily turn to mush, so prepare in advance and do a good job of controlling water and growth)

The Echeveria elegans system (the Echeveria elegans series needs a certain temperature difference, so in summer there is no need to worry about sunlight, as long as they do not stretch. Grow them with controlled water; once they make it through summer, spring belongs to them, so do not let them say goodbye in summer. As long as they can be grown fully in shade, in summer they are just green vegetables)

Echeveria 'Chihuahuaensis', Echeveria pulidonis, and the like (there are many varieties, collectively called ordinary goods; actually, "ordinary" does not mean price, but rather that they are relatively easy to grow and easy to propagate, so the price is relatively cheap). Relatively speaking, they are easier to grow and can be grown fully outdoors; as long as you watch out for pests, there is not much problem.

Let's still talk about watering. Although I have posted about watering issues several times already, today I will mention it again: remember, remember, do not boil your succulents with hot water (definitely do not water at high temperatures in the morning; after watering in the evening, if the next day is hot, do not take them out to sun either. Be patient and give them 2-3 days to slowly adjust. Be sure to pay attention, pay attention to ventilation; artificial ventilation is fine too).

I hope everyone's succulents can have good color in summer!
