This is a large Echeveria 'Furong Xuelian' that I got this New Year's Day when I took my baby to a local greenhouse.

After drying the roots and potting it up, I put it straight outdoors. The photo was taken in mid-January. When I got it, I cut off all the flower stalks.

After half a month outdoors it clearly colored up. Taken in early February, the flower stalks grew so fast. To keep it from continuing to drain nutrients from the mother plant, I kept snipping them off.

Cutting flower stalks, and more flower stalks bursting out in a loop. Taken at the end of February, the leaves at the center of the rosette clearly began to close up. At that time there was a lot of rain and it kept getting rained on, so the color faded a bit.

The flower stalks never stop coming. In March, the leaf layers increased and it closed up even more.

Because I fell into the Mesemb family starting in March, I didn't take many photos. The one below was already taken in early June. I moved it to a new spot and continued growing it outdoors. The change is obvious: the circle of thin, long leaves at the bottom had basically all been used up, and the new leaves growing in are nice, just not very colorful.

Below is a night shot after cutting off the flower stalks.

In early July, in Guangdong's hellish free-shipping region, under daily scorching sun, left to wind and rain, it started showing a bit of color. It was already completely different from the silly big flat thing when I first got it.

In early August, in the free-shipping region's terrifying muggy summer, it was still growing outdoors. The color got better and better; instead it looked like an orange rather than a 'Furong'.

At the end of August it rained for 5 days straight. It kept getting rained on and it was cloudy, and it just got rained flat. So sad. I took a photo comparing it with my hand; it was almost turning into a silly big flat thing. Because the rain was still falling, to keep it from getting ruined by the rain I moved it into a small greenhouse to shelter from the rain. The very next day after moving it, the strong sun came out...

The last photo was taken on September 9. After sheltering in the small greenhouse for one night of rain, I moved it back out to grow outdoors. After a few days of torment under strong sun, the color changed again, though the leaves were still a bit flat. An Echeveria 'Furong Xuelian' from the hellish free-shipping region of Chaozhou, Guangdong. I'm really looking forward to how it will look in autumn and winter, and I insist on taking a photo every month to record its growth changes. I hope fellow succulent lovers will give a like to encourage me. Also looking for fellow succulent lovers in the same city.

In mid-September, during typhoon weather, I moved it into the small greenhouse. The leaves at the bottom seemed to have gotten infected with disease and were a bit dangerous, so I pulled off a few and it got a bit smaller.

In short, the 'Furong Xuelian' variety is easy to grow and tolerates sun, and it gets through summer easily. Give it some time, and it will become beautiful!
