These 8 succulents don't go dormant in summer and still grow vigorously. How many of them do you grow?

Summer is the hardest season for succulents, and countless succulents die on the road to surviving the summer. So many beginner friends think that succulents can't be grown in summer, but that's not true. Succulents are also divided into winter-growing types, intermediate types and summer-growing types. Among them, summer-growing types are in their growth period in summer and will not go dormant. As long as they are cared for properly, they will get through summer easily. There are also many summer-growing succulents. Below, Xiao Jingzhi Shenghuo will introduce a few relatively common and economical succulents among the summer-growing types.

1. Chuxiang (Echeveria 'Tippy' / 'First Love')

Chuxiang, just hearing the name makes it sound beautiful. When Chuxiang is in good condition, its leaves turn deep pink, like a shy young girl in first love, which is probably the origin of the name "First Love." Chuxiang likes a warm, dry and ventilated environment. Spring and autumn are its growing seasons, and it has no obvious dormancy period. In summer, it needs appropriate shading to avoid strong direct sunlight, and it must be placed in a ventilated environment.

2. Bai Mudan (Graptoveria 'Titubans' / White Peony)

Bai Mudan is also a very common mass-market succulent. Its leaf surface has a light layer of white powder, and when there is sufficient light, the leaf tips turn pale pink, very cute. Compared with the shy Chuxiang, Bai Mudan is fresh and elegant. Bai Mudan likes warmth and is not cold-tolerant, so pay attention to appropriate shading in summer. Bai Mudan grows quickly and is also very tenacious.

3. Huoji (Crassula capitella 'Campfire' / Fire Sacrifice)

Huoji is also called Qiuhuolian (Autumn Fire Lotus). With "fire" in its name, you can tell how fiery red it gets when in condition. There are many succulents that are easy to grow in summer and turn red in winter, but among those that are easy to grow in summer, Huoji is the reddest in winter, and among those that turn red in winter, Huoji is the easiest to grow in summer. Even if the pot soil stays wet for a long time while grown outdoors in summer, Huoji will only rot the part touching the soil, while the upper part will be full of life again after a stem cutting. The only thing Huoji fears is too little light. With too little light, Huoji really turns into a thin, long weed.

4. Qianfoshou (Sedum 'Little Beauty' / Thousand Buddha Hands)

When Qianfoshou is in condition, the leaf tips turn red and the leaves turn yellow-green. Old plants grown for many years can be used as hanging plants. Qianfoshou also has no obvious dormancy period and grows all year round. Qianfoshou does not like water much, and watering 1-2 times a month is enough.

5. Huangli (Sedum adolphi / Golden Glow)

The leaves of Huangli have a golden-yellow glow, very special. Huangli needs sufficient light, otherwise it is especially prone to becoming leggy. But Huangli is very easy to grow into an old-stem form. Spring and autumn are the growing seasons for Huangli; in summer it goes into slight dormancy and needs ventilation and shade.

6. Tangyin (Kalanchoe thyrsiflora / Paddle Plant)

I have always felt that the name Tangyin is very classical. Tangyin is a thin-leaved succulent of the Crassulaceae family, Kalanchoe genus. When in condition, its leaves are huge, the color is bright red, and it has an extraordinary bearing. Tangyin likes a dry, cool and ventilated environment. In summer its growth will be slightly weaker, and it needs appropriate shading and ventilation.

7. Jiwalian (Echeveria 'Chihuahuaensis' / Chihuahua)

Jiwalian has a ring of red along the leaf edges, and it is also a very lovable mass-market succulent. In an environment with sufficient light, Jiwalian's leaves form a very dense and compact rosette. In summer, watering needs to be reduced and appropriate shading is needed, otherwise too much standing water can easily cause root rot.

8. Jilongyue (Graptopetalum paraguayense / Ghost Plant)

Jilongyue is also a very classic mass-market succulent, the first choice for beginners; just grow it casually and it will spread everywhere. After being sun-reddened, Jilongyue has the potential of jade, and Jilongyue is often indispensable in succulent collections. The survival rate of Jilongyue leaf propagation is almost 100%. It likes a sunny, dry, warm and ventilated environment, and even the sun at a high temperature of 36°C can hardly burn it.

The above are 8 entry-level summer-growing succulents, but here Xiao Jingzhi Shenghuo also needs to remind you that although they are summer-growing types, it is only a little easier for them to get through summer than winter-growing and intermediate types. If you ignore them just because they are summer-growing types, then they will still die.
