I became obsessed with succulents two years ago, but because of my body during my second pregnancy I interrupted my succulent-growing journey. I became obsessed with succulents again in February this year, once more starting the cycle of buying and buying. As for growing succulents, I am like a familiar stranger, a complete beginner, but what I have is passion and a fearless spirit. Facing a May that broke historical high temperatures and one typhoon season after another, all I can do is discover beauty and keep accompanying you strong ones.

Echeveria 'Lilacina', one of my favorite common inexpensive succulents; I especially love the rosette formed by your curving leaves.

Orange Snowball, planted in March; after being rained on in April it fully established and grew like crazy. The regret is that it has no color.

The slender and graceful Baby's Fingers

Pingpong Fukuniang with pretty good color

Exquisite Sedum 'Chiyoda'; the little leaves have kept a jelly color all along.

The fake Soul bought two years ago for eighty yuan; after changing the soil and pot in March it finally stopped looking half-dead as before. I admire your strong vitality.

The Ice Plum cluster I bought; the more I look, the more I think it should be a fake Ice Plum, the leaves are not ethereal.

Graptopetalum mendozae; Moon Goddess is almost being buried.

Echeveria 'Furong Snow Lotus'; it is said that in autumn it turns orange and has blood spots. Looking forward to it.

Kalanchoe luciae; only recently did I learn that you do not go dormant in summer, so it is not good to control water too much; the leaves have stayed wrinkled all along.

The Aeonium 'Sunburst' the seller gave me; easy to grow.

Yellow Bear; it is said Guangdong is not suitable for growing White Bear, so I have kept holding back from getting a White Bear.

The white, rich, and beautiful Echeveria 'Wild Card'

Pink Peach Elf, now facing huge survival pressure.

My big, big Opalina, the succulent I worry about least.

The Moonlight that used to be a bun.

The Velvet that has already sprouted little heads.

Graptosedum 'Bronze' with blood spots.

Crested Echeveria 'Topsy Turvy'; I guess it can get through summer without rain cover or shade. Impressive.

Hydroponic Pebble.

Still you, Lilacina.

Pansy and White Moon Shadow, already so etiolated they are unrecognizable.

Cute Crayon, hoping it will explode with growth.

I suggest everyone have one Orion; whether under blazing sun or in plum rain season, it stays beautiful.

The Wax Peony that has always been emerald green.

Pink Blue Bird with a long stem.

Crested Pansy.

Red Plum that succeeded after beheading.

The Brilliant Crest that is starting to turn red.

I forgot you were originally called Chocolate Square Brick.

The big cabbage Blue Velvet.

Yellow Rose.

Red Echeveria 'Xiangfulian'.

Green Claw.

I especially like Pink Blue Bird.

Puff Pastry Duck, recently sun-reddened on the edges.

T?p

The magical String of Coins; after today's heavy rain I found you had actually turned red.

The Chihuahua rescued back through hydroponics, a succulent from two years ago.

Echeveria 'Qiluo'; I do not know when I will see your red brilliance again.

I used to dislike you and thought you were tacky.

Frank, at least slowly turning red.

The easy-to-grow Blue-Pink Tai Ge; the reason it is cheaper than Red-Pink Tai Ge is probably that it is easy to grow.

Let us savor the colors you once had again, and look forward to you putting on your makeup again in autumn.

In just three short months, I have witnessed all kinds of changes in you. Whether ugly or beautiful, you are all my precious ones. It has been more than a month since the start of summer, and many succulents have already left. Although I have read many articles on how to get through summer, in the end, having never experienced it, everything is just theory. All I can do is broaden my mindset to face the various tests the harsh summer brings to the succulents, accompany them with care, and witness their growth. I wish all succulents a healthy summer.

The culture of succulents needs you and me to promote it! Remember to share good articles more, so more people fall in love with succulents!
