Cheese

This succulent belongs to the Crassulaceae family, Graptopetalum genus. Its leaves are naturally round and plump in shape, and not only is the color good, but the shape is just like its name, resembling cheese, making everyone who sees it want to take a bite. When caring for it, if you want to maintain the cheese succulent's natural round and plump form, you should use 60% granular soil plus 40% nutrient soil. This not only meets the cheese succulent's nutritional needs but also helps control water. As long as the temperature is not below 30 degrees, it can bask in full sun, but if it exceeds 35 degrees, appropriate shading is needed to prevent leaf sunburn. As for watering, although it likes water, do not overwater it, because once it keeps drinking water it will swell up too much, to the point that its round, plump leaves burst.

Seal

Its leaf color will not change from sun exposure, so it does not need much light; maintaining 3 to 4 hours of direct sunlight per day is enough. In addition, the seal succulent's leaves contain a lot of water, so after watering it once, you can stop watering it for 1 to 2 months.
As for soil, it is recommended to use 30% granular soil plus 70% nutrient soil, which is most suitable for the chubby seal succulent's growth.

Peach Egg

Many flower lovers who grow succulents surely cannot put down the Peach Egg succulent; it has a pink, cute color like peach blossoms. In terms of care, sunlight above 35 degrees in summer can easily cause sunburn spots on the leaves, so it is best to place it on a shaded balcony. Its water needs are moderate, but do not overwater it just because summer is hot, as this can easily cause root rot after sun exposure. It is best to water in the afternoon, while in spring and autumn you can give it more sun and more water.

Tangyuan

The Tangyuan succulent also gets its name because its appearance is like tangyuan (glutinous rice balls); its color is soft pink and it is round, giving people a feeling of pearly roundness and jade-like smoothness. If you want to grow the Tangyuan succulent into a good state, first you need to use a small flower pot to grow it, because this can control the amount of watering. However, if the leaves wrinkle and shrivel, you should use the soak-watering method to give it water. When caring for it, it is best to have more than 4 hours of direct sunlight per day, because the more sun it gets, the more vivid its color will be (avoid exposing it to the blazing sun at 35 degrees).
