There are a great many kinds of succulents, including the easy-to-overflow-pot Cuban oregano, the cute-looking lithops, and the Echeveria runyonii 'Topsy Turvy' we are talking about today. These succulents are all very common; every time I see some very cute succulents I always ask my friend what her name is, and like everyone else, I have a special feeling for succulents. The succulent Echeveria runyonii 'Topsy Turvy' we are talking about today looks very much like a lotus flower and appears extremely beautiful. Appreciate the care techniques for the succulent Echeveria runyonii 'Topsy Turvy': it has strong adaptability and is easy to keep alive! With plenty of light exposure in daily life it can grow very well, making it very suitable for beginners to care for, so let us specifically explain the care methods for Echeveria runyonii 'Topsy Turvy'.

Let us first talk about the growing temperature for Echeveria runyonii 'Topsy Turvy'. The most suitable temperature for its growth is around 20 to 25 degrees, so it is relatively easy to care for in the southern regions of our country, while in the north where temperatures are lower it is not easy to care for. In the southern regions it also needs frequent sunlight, which not only maintains the growing temperature for Echeveria runyonii 'Topsy Turvy' but also makes its leaves more translucent. Judging by my friend's family's Echeveria runyonii 'Topsy Turvy', this is very obvious: their succulents have always been kept outside the windowsill, and there are many of them. Many friends who grow succulents want to achieve this kind of full-sun state, with the whole plant growing relatively compact, and within a bluish hue there is also some white powdery substance, with the leaves wrapped very tightly in the middle; at a glance it is clearly the kind that is growing very well.

But in summer, friends should pay attention to the midday temperature, because if the temperature is too high it will cause the succulent to go dormant, and Echeveria runyonii 'Topsy Turvy' is no exception. So at noon in summer we should put Echeveria runyonii 'Topsy Turvy' in a cool and ventilated place; ventilation can lower the soil temperature so that it does not get too high and cause the succulent Echeveria runyonii 'Topsy Turvy' to go dormant. In winter, because the temperature is relatively low, we must keep Echeveria runyonii 'Topsy Turvy' indoors for care, so the midday sunlight must not be missed; it has a very profound influence on getting the succulent Echeveria runyonii 'Topsy Turvy' through the winter.

Next let us talk about the light for Echeveria runyonii 'Topsy Turvy'. Everyone knows that succulents like sunlight, but besides placing them on the balcony to receive light, we also need to frequently turn the flower pot of Echeveria runyonii 'Topsy Turvy'. This ensures that the succulent receives sunlight relatively evenly and grows relatively evenly, and will not grow large on one side and small on the other, which would look very ugly. Receiving light does not mean exposing Echeveria runyonii 'Topsy Turvy' entirely to strong sunlight all at once, as this will only increase the chance of sunburning the succulent, so even when keeping it outside on the balcony we should do it gradually.

For the succulent Echeveria runyonii 'Topsy Turvy', watering is also a very important task. Because succulents do not need very much water, we should control the amount of water when watering. Especially when watering, never sprinkle water onto the leaves, because on the leaves of Echeveria runyonii 'Topsy Turvy' there is some white substance; this substance serves a protective role in preventing the leaves of the succulent from being sunburned by ultraviolet rays. In spring and autumn we can basically water once every 10 to 15 days or so. In summer, as long as Echeveria runyonii 'Topsy Turvy' is kept from going dormant, we can control it to watering once every 7 to 10 days or so, which is also fine.

However, we should also consider the specific situation and be sure to pay attention to the wetness or dryness of the potting soil. Only when the surface of the potting soil is very dry should we water it. After watering, place it in a ventilated place to let the excess water dry off a bit; this can reduce the chance of water accumulating in the pot of Echeveria runyonii 'Topsy Turvy'.

Everyone must try to keep a pot of such a beautiful succulent.
