Succulents Turned Green Like a Cabbage? Try These 5 - Colorful Even in Summer
Once the dog days of summer arrive, temperatures climb higher and higher. Many plant lovers don't dare put their succulents out in the sun, and they gradually fade to green! Today, Huahua introduces a few succulents that won't fade into cabbages even in summer!
Graptosedum 'Bronze'
In summer, Graptosedum 'Bronze' turns a pale pink, and with enough light, the color becomes redder.
Summer Care Tips:
1. Light: Graptosedum 'Bronze' grows normally below 35°C, so during the day you only need to shade it from the sun between 11 am and 2 pm.
2. Water control: When temperatures reach above 35°C, pay attention to water control. Watering about once every 10 days is enough. When the leaves become thin or wilted, you can lightly mist the leaves.
Aeonium 'Zwartkop'
Aeonium 'Zwartkop' also fades somewhat in summer, but only the center of the leaves turns green; overall it stays a glossy black!
Summer Care Tips:
1. Light: In summer, Aeonium 'Zwartkop' enters dormancy, so it's best to keep it in a bright, indirect-light environment.
2. Watering: In summer, it's best not to cut off water entirely for Aeonium 'Zwartkop'. Water about once every 2 weeks, keeping the potting soil slightly moist.
Robin
Robin ranks among the most vividly red succulents. Although Robin is prone to black rot in summer, just for that beautiful red, it's worth growing a pot!
Summer Care Tips:
1. Watering: When watering Robin in summer, be sure not to get water on the leaves or the plant, otherwise it will die on you in no time.
2. Ventilation: Summer brings high heat and high humidity. If air circulation is poor, Robin easily develops black rot, so it's best to place Robin on a well-ventilated windowsill or balcony.
Living Stones
Living Stones are a succulent Huahua has been quite obsessed with lately. Not only are they round and cute in shape, but they also come in many colors to choose from. How could you not get a few for summer!
Summer Care Tips:
1. Light: If you want Living Stones to develop more vivid colors, sunlight is essential. But the midday sun can scorch them, so provide appropriate shade.
2. Water control: Living Stones need very little water in summer; going a month without watering is no problem. Too much water will instead cause them to grow leggy.
Sunset Goose
The leaves of Sunset Goose have a rather unique color, with three colors in total. Get a pot in summer and your balcony will gain a lot of color!
Summer Care Tips:
1. Watering: Sunset Goose is very drought-tolerant. In summer, just water thoroughly after the potting soil dries out, but be sure not to let water accumulate, otherwise the roots will rot very easily.
2. Ventilation: If conditions allow, plant lovers can keep Sunset Goose outdoors in a well-ventilated environment. As long as ventilation is ensured, Sunset Goose gets through summer fairly easily.
