As succulent prices drop, more and more friends are falling into the succulent rabbit hole. Today, Huahua is recommending a few succulents for these newbie succulent lovers, cute and adorable, especially suitable for kids to grow!

Bear's Paw (Cotyledon tomentosa)


I believe many succulent lovers are captured at first glance by the adorable look of Bear's Paw, with its tiny leaves shaped like little bear claws!

Summer is the dormant period for Bear's Paw; smaller leaves and a small amount of leaf drop are normal. As long as it is placed in a ventilated spot with indirect light and watered sparingly, it can make it through summer safely.

Deer Horn Sea Buckthorn (Monilaria obconica)


The leaves of Deer Horn Sea Buckthorn are shaped like little deer antlers, growing in long strings, and are highly ornamental!

Deer Horn Sea Buckthorn has relatively high water requirements; when short of water the leaves tend to shrivel, but too much water combined with overly strong light makes them prone to splitting. Summer is its dormant period, so in summer you only need to keep the potting soil from becoming too dry.

Moon Rabbit Ear (Kalanchoe tomentosa 'Moon Rabbit')


The small leaves of Moon Rabbit Ear grow into the shape of a little rabbit's ears, and after exposure to sunlight the leaf edges even take on a golden-red color. The appearance is just too beautiful!

Under high summer temperatures, Moon Rabbit Ear enters its dormant period. At this time, reduce watering and increase ventilation. Those growing it outdoors should try to avoid rain, otherwise there is a risk of black rot.

Ice Berry (Echeveria 'Ice Berry')


As long as the leaves of Ice Berry do not spread open, it looks like a little steamed bun, and best of all, Ice Berry even has a faint fragrance!

In summer, provide appropriate shading, but do not leave it completely without light, otherwise Ice Berry will easily spread out into a big flat pancake for you to see!

Pink Bluebird (Echeveria 'Pink Bluebird')


I believe appearance lovers definitely cannot resist the temptation of Pink Bluebird. When grown into its full state, the leaves of Pink Bluebird present an overall pale blue color, with the leaf edges rimmed in a ring of pink.

Pink Bluebird gets through summer relatively easily; just place it in a cool, ventilated spot and provide good shading. Be careful never to expose it to overly strong light, otherwise the leaves will suffer irreversible sunburn.

Colorful Crayon (Graptoveria 'Colorful Crayon')


Colorful Crayon is the variegated form of Graptosedum 'Little Star', with a slightly lighter color than Little Star. After sun exposure, Colorful Crayon turns pale pink, even more fresh and bright!

The hot, humid summer is the slow-growth period for Colorful Crayon. It is best to place it in a cool, ventilated spot with indirect light. With insufficient light, Colorful Crayon tends to grow leggy and its leaves are not compact.
