This Is How You Sun Your Succulents After the Start of Autumn - No Wonder They Die One Pot at a Time

Chihuahuaensis (Echeveria chihuahuaensis)

Echeveria chihuahuaensis is still in its dormant period right now. If you rashly move it somewhere with rather intense light, it easily gets sunburned, leaving irreversible sunburn marks.

Proper care:

1. For now, it is best to keep Echeveria chihuahuaensis in a spot with bright light but no direct sunlight. Once the weather cools down, gradually increase the light, and only after the autumn heat has completely passed should you give it full sun.

2. The weather is still fairly hot right 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 extremely sensitive to light. If the light is too strong, the leaves easily turn reddish-brown from the sun, or even develop marks that are hard to recover from later - you can only wait for the sunburned leaves to drop off.

Proper 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 a bright, indirect-light environment the rest of the time.

2. Haworthia cooperi is fairly fond of water, but it is still in its dormant period right now, so you must control the amount you water. Only give a little water along the edge of the pot once the soil has dried out completely.

Zebra Haworthia (Haworthia fasciata)

After being scorched by the sun, the leaves of Zebra Haworthia turn from bright green to yellow and then to yellow-gray, and the leaf tips dry out and scorch as well.

Proper care:

1. Zebra Haworthia is not really suited to being grown outdoors; a bright windowsill suits its growth better. As long as the environment is right, it clusters very easily.

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

Haworthia maughanii (Haworthia maughanii)

Haworthia maughanii likes a relatively soft, gentle light. After being exposed to blazing sun, brown spots appear at the tips of its leaves, and the whole leaf loses its luster.

Proper care:

1. Place Haworthia maughanii somewhere it can get direct sunlight only in the early morning and late afternoon. If your location gets plenty of direct light, you must provide shade after 9 or 10 a.m.

2. Enclosing Haworthia maughanii to keep it humid makes the leaves thicker and plumper, but now is not the best time for that. Doing it now means poor air circulation and high humidity, which easily breeds bacteria and causes black rot in Haworthia maughanii.

Gasteria (Gasteria)

Although Gasteria likes a sunny environment, the light is still fairly strong right now. After scorching, black spots easily appear on the leaves, they become thinner, and the color is not as bright as before.

Proper care:

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

2. Gasteria grows very slowly, but it produces pups very quickly. Once Gasteria fills its pot, you can propagate it by division.

String of Pearls (Senecio rowleyanus)

String of Pearls rather likes bright, indirect light. If you put it outside to be scorched by the sun right now, its little pearls easily get sunburned; even at noon, light through the glass can burn them.

Proper care:

1. If you have the conditions, gardening enthusiasts can place it on an east-facing balcony. If it is a south-facing or west-facing balcony, you must shade it at noon and keep String of Pearls farther away from the glass window.

2. As long as the environment is not very dry, try not to mist the leaves and stems frequently, otherwise String of Pearls easily rots.
