5 succulents that get more "beautiful" the more they "bask" in the sun, and with this autumn care they will be "even more beautiful"!

Autumn has arrived, which means the good days for succulent lovers are about to come, so today the editor specially presents to everyone the care experience for 5 succulents that get more beautiful the more they bask in the sun, and shares it with everyone to exchange and learn together!

1. Graptopetalum mendozae

Give it as much sun as possible; under strong light the leaves take on a lovely orange-red color. Graptopetalum mendozae does not need much watering; if you do not know how to water, stick in a toothpick, pull it out and take a look; if it is dry, water it.

2. Sedum dasyphyllum

For succulent lovers who like emerald green, reduce the light time; for succulent lovers who like the adorable pink, give more sun, and when the light is sufficient the edges gradually turn red. Its drought tolerance is very strong, so there is no need to water too frequently; watering 2 to 3 times a month is enough, and the soaking method is recommended.

If you water too frequently, it will grow leggy, and it will also be ugly; strengthen ventilation to speed up water evaporation, which can effectively prevent black rot.

3. Echeveria 'First Love'

Echeveria 'First Love' likes a warm, dry environment with plenty of sunlight, and needs to be placed in a spot with sufficient light for care. When watering, try not to pour water into the center of the rosette; water accumulating in the center can easily cause the leaves to turn to mush and rot. If water does accumulate, blow the droplets away promptly.

4. Echeveria 'Little Red Riding Hood'

In autumn it can take full sun; the more sufficient the light and the greater the temperature difference between day and night, the more vivid the leaf color and the more compact the plant shape.

So when the temperature is suitable, it is recommended to place it outdoors for open-air cultivation. Echeveria 'Little Red Riding Hood' is very prone to turning black and rotting in a hot and humid environment (especially in summer), so never water it too much.

To avoid water accumulating at the roots, it is best to choose a pot with drainage holes at the bottom; in the south, a red clay pot with good breathability can be chosen; glass containers absorb heat and have poor breathability, so use them with caution.

Water at least about every 10 days, and just water thoroughly each time; the watering frequency can be increased or decreased as appropriate according to the climate differences of different regions and seasons.

5. Echeveria 'Wax Peony'

Echeveria 'Wax Peony' needs to receive sufficient sunlight for the leaf color and leaf edges to be vivid and for it to look good. After the temperature drops in September, give it more sun; if the light is insufficient, the plant's leaves will grow leggy, and the red leaf edges will slowly fade to green or light green.

The soil needs to be kept moist, with plenty of ventilation, especially after watering, to avoid water accumulation.
