Succulents Turning Green Like a Cabbage? Grow These 5, and Their Summer Blooms Are Prettier Than Flowers

Graptopetalum paraguayense 'Bronze'

In summer, Graptopetalum paraguayense 'Bronze' turns a pale pink, and with enough light, the color becomes even redder.

Summer care tips:

1. Light: Graptopetalum paraguayense 'Bronze' grows normally below 35°C, so during the day you only need to shade it from the sun between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.

2. Water control: When the temperature reaches above 35°C, pay attention to water control and water about once every 10 days; when the leaves become thin or wilted, you can mist the leaves appropriately.

Aeonium 'Zwartkop'

In summer, Aeonium 'Zwartkop' also fades somewhat, but only the center of the rosette 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: When caring for Aeonium 'Zwartkop' in summer, it's best not to cut off water entirely; water about once every 2 weeks and just keep the potting soil slightly moist.

Sedeveria 'Robin'

Sedeveria 'Robin' can be considered the most vividly red of all succulents. Although Robin is prone to black rot in summer, for the sake of that beautiful red, you just have to grow 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 temperatures and high humidity; if air circulation is poor, Robin is very prone to black rot, so it's best to place Robin on a well-ventilated windowsill or balcony.

Lithops

Lithops is one of the succulents Huahua has been most obsessed with lately. Not only is its shape round and cute, but it also comes in quite a few colors to choose from. How could you not get a few in summer!

Summer care tips:

1. Light: If you want Lithops' colors to become more vivid, sunlight is essential. But the blazing midday sun will scorch Lithops, so provide appropriate shading.

2. Water control: Lithops needs very little water in summer and can go a month without watering with no problem. Too much water will instead cause it to grow leggy.

Graptosedum 'Sunset Goose'

The leaves of Graptosedum 'Sunset Goose' have a rather unique color, with three colors in total. Get a pot in summer and your balcony will be much more colorful!

Summer care tips:

1. Watering: Graptosedum 'Sunset Goose' is extremely drought-tolerant. In summer, just water thoroughly once the potting soil is dry, but be sure not to let water accumulate, otherwise the roots will rot very easily.

2. Ventilation: If you have the conditions, plant lovers can keep Graptosedum 'Sunset Goose' outdoors in a well-ventilated environment; as long as ventilation is ensured, it gets through summer fairly easily.
