A couple of days ago, Huahua just got a small succulent called Yanzhi Yun (Rosularia 'Yanzhiyun'). Not only does the name sound unusual, but it even looks different from ordinary succulents. If grown well, its leaves take on a dreamy purple color, truly beautiful!

It does not look plump and fleshy like other succulents; instead, it looks more like a small foliage plant. But some gardening friends say that when they first bought it, it was still purple, yet the more they cared for it, the more its leaves began to turn green. So today, Huahua will tell everyone how to give your Yanzhi Yun that dreamy purple color!

Like other succulents, it loves sunlight very much. Only with sufficient light will its leaves begin to change color. But if you keep it in a dark environment for a long time, the color of its leaves will slowly fade back to green. Still, be careful to give it a little shade, especially in strong light conditions like summer, otherwise its leaves can easily wilt and turn yellow.

Yanzhi Yun relatively prefers a somewhat moist growing environment. Its water needs are a bit greater than those of other succulents. Besides normal watering, we can also prepare a small spray bottle and mist its leaves regularly, so it can grow more lushly.

Actually, the most important time is the period right after we first bring it home, because this is when it has just entered a new environment. If it adapts well, it will enter growth mode; otherwise, it will not only fail to grow, but will decline even further.

The easiest thing to do wrong is to repot it right after buying it. Although repotting and changing the soil can help it grow better, you also need to find the right timing, otherwise it will backfire. Especially when it arrives in a new environment, we need to give it a buffer period.

After it adapts for two or three days, then change it into new soil. After repotting, first water it thoroughly once, then place it in a ventilated environment. At this time, the leaves at its base will inevitably turn yellow and wilt, but later, as long as we ensure proper light and watering, it will slowly recover on its own.
