Are succulents easy to keep in autumn? Recommended succulent varieties worth getting

As November arrives, the hot weather begins to fade, surrounding temperatures drop somewhat, and the feeling of autumn is strong. This is exactly the best time to grow succulents. But although succulents are great, quite a few varieties on the market are getting more and more expensive. So which succulent varieties do we recommend for beginner gardeners as easy to care for and cheap?

Sedum multiceps (small ball rose)

Sedum multiceps is a succulent in the Crassulaceae family, genus Sedum (Phedimus). It mostly comes from northeastern regions (northern Iran, Turkey, etc.), so Sedum multiceps is naturally fond of dry and cold environments and likes environments with large temperature differences. After October arrives, every region will certainly see more temperature swings with large differences, and this is the perfect time to grow a pot of Sedum multiceps. The more pronounced the temperature difference in its spot, the redder and more striking the color of its fleshy parts will become. Because of this trait, some flower shop owners also call it by the name Dragon's Blood Stonecrop.

Kalanchoe daigremontiana (mother of thousands)

From the name alone you can tell it is an extremely easy plant to care for, with vitality even stronger than that of weeds. Hence there is also a saying that if a person cannot even keep a mother of thousands alive, then don't expect them to successfully keep any other plant alive. In folk terms, mother of thousands is also known as "fall to the ground and take root," meaning that if you casually pick off a leaf and toss it on the ground, within a few days it will take root and sprout. Mother of thousands is native to Africa, and cool, breezy autumn weather like October's is the most suitable for caring for it. So it is suggested to plant a small seedling now, and in about 2 months the mother of thousands can burst into a full pot.

Purple rice grains

Purple rice grains truly lives up to its name. In the temperatures of this season, its fleshy parts will gradually turn from green rice-grain-shaped leaves to red, and finally to purple. At the same time, cuttings are simple: just stick it in soil any way and it will live. If you shake the rice grains loose from its branches, the grains that fall on the soil surface will take root on their own, and one begets ten, ten beget a hundred, with an astonishing rate of propagation.

Sedum rubrotinctum (jelly bean plant)

I believe any flower lover who has come into contact with succulents must have grown "jelly bean plant," because in the flower market you can buy a small seedling for just one or two yuan, and besides the cheap price, its rooting ability is also very strong.

In autumn, its fleshy parts will change from green to bright red, with the leaf tips turning a jelly color, and some leaves also turn bright red, with the leaf tips turning a jelly color.
