After Start of Autumn, Don't Put Succulents Out in the Sun Carelessly, or You May End Up with Only Empty Pots

Start of Autumn has already passed several days, and many plant lovers are thinking that their succulents, which have been cooped up all summer, should be taken out to get some sun. Stop right there! In most areas the sunlight is still very strong right now, and some succulents taken out into the sun will immediately turn into "five-spice roast meat," and then you can just wait to collect empty pots!

Chihuahuaensis (Echeveria chihuahuaensis)

Chihuahuaensis is still in its dormant period now. If you rashly move it to a spot with relatively strong light, it will easily get sunburned and be left with irreversible sunburn spots.

Correct care:

1. For now, it is best to keep Chihuahuaensis in a bright place without direct sunlight. After the weather cools down, gradually increase the light, and wait until the Indian summer has completely passed before giving it full sun.

2. The weather is still fairly hot now, so just give a small amount of water; there is no need to water thoroughly. Also be sure to improve ventilation.

Haworthia cooperi (Haworthia cooperi)

Haworthia cooperi is very sensitive to light. If the light is too strong, the leaves easily sunburn to a reddish brown, or even leave marks that are hard to recover from later, so you can only wait for the sunburned leaves to fall off.

Correct care:

1. To prevent Haworthia cooperi from becoming leggy, you can place it on a south-facing balcony or windowsill before 9 a.m. and after 4 p.m. to receive direct sunlight, and keep it in bright indirect light the rest of the time.

2. Haworthia cooperi likes water relatively much, but it is still in its dormant period now, so you must control the amount of watering. Water only a little along the edge of the pot after the soil has dried out completely.

Haworthia fasciata (Zebra Plant)

After being exposed to the blazing sun, the leaves of Haworthia fasciata will turn from bright green to yellow and then to yellow-gray, and the leaf tips will dry out and scorch.

Correct care:

1. Haworthia fasciata is not very suitable for outdoor growing; a bright windowside is better for its growth. As long as the environment is right, it clusters very easily.

2. Haworthia fasciata is very drought-tolerant but afraid of waterlogging. You can wait until the potting soil has dried out completely before watering, or spray water around the plant from time to time.

Haworthia maughanii (Haworthia maughanii)

Haworthia maughanii likes a relatively soft-light environment. After being exposed to the scorching sun, brown spots will appear at the leaf tips, and the whole leaf will also become dull and lusterless.

Correct care:

1. Place Haworthia maughanii somewhere that only gets direct sunlight in the early morning and evening. If the environment has fairly abundant direct light, be sure to shade it after 9 or 10 a.m.

2. Enclosed growing makes Haworthia maughanii leaves thicker and plumper, but now is not the best time for it. Growing it enclosed now means poor air circulation and high humidity, which easily breeds bacteria and causes black rot in Haworthia maughanii.

Gasteria gracilis (Gasteria gracilis)

Although Gasteria gracilis likes a sunny environment, the light is still fairly strong now. After sun exposure, its leaves easily develop black spots, become thinner, and lose their former bright color.

Correct care:

1. It is best to keep Gasteria gracilis in a bright, well-ventilated environment and keep the environment dry, otherwise its leaves easily turn black.

2. Gasteria gracilis grows very slowly, but it produces offsets very quickly. After it fills the pot, you can propagate it by division.

Senecio rowleyanus (String of Pearls)

Senecio rowleyanus relatively likes bright indirect light. If you put it outdoors to receive blazing sun now, its little pearls easily get sunburned, and even through glass at noon they will be scorched.

Correct care:

1. If conditions allow, plant lovers can place it on an east-facing balcony. If it is a south-facing or west-facing balcony, be sure to shade it at noon, and keep Senecio rowleyanus farther away from the glass window.

2. As long as the environment is not very dry, try not to spray water on the leaves and stems frequently, otherwise Senecio rowleyanus easily rots.
