The first aspect: water
In the hot and rainy summer, succulents are controlled in summer, reducing watering and the frequency of watering. The stability in summer shows that it has adapted to such a watering frequency. But autumn is coming, and the succulents enter the growing season, and their demand for water is also increasing. At this time, you cannot follow the steps, you cannot be too impatient. Buffer it slowly. So how to buffer it, see below.

The second aspect: lighting

If succulents live in an environment with insufficient light for a long time, they are easily affected by various growth factors, such as , water, black rot leaves, so the degree of the plant's dependence on light can be said to be the highest in the biological world. The succulents have spent the hot summer, and now they have breathed a sigh of relief. So be sure to give these lovely little succulents enough light.
The third aspect: fertilizer
The more succulent summer has come, and of course what they crave most is nutrients. Therefore fertilizer is especially important in autumn. Sufficient nutrients are one of the secrets of growing succulents. But there is no need to apply fertilizer on top.
