The area we were planting them in was also in full sun, so these little 2'' (5 cm) succulents didn't have time to acclimate to that hot temperature and the full sun. Extreme temperatures are the most difficult thing to do when planting succulents outdoors. You will not be able to get water into your succulents if you do this. However, if it never really goes into survival mode it will just keep growing and taking in water. But, succulents grown outdoors should wait until their active growing season. The best season for succulents is spring or autumn, when the particular succulent is entering its active growing season. As such, you may need to keep changing locations of the plant depending on the season to help keep it at the optimum recommended temperature ranges. In general, succulents will require little water to survive in cold conditions. This is just a matter of temperature. These are in the warmer temperature category. I wanted to point out a few genera of succulents from each list above and point out why it makes sense in that particular category.

So dear to my heart, as it's one of the few succulents that survives harsh winters in Utah. Lithops don’t require much fertilizer but it is possible to give them a bit every few weeks to encourage their growth. Fall brings cooler temperatures and they will begin to open up a bit more.

Avoid freezing water though if the weather is cold. Some succulents may not thrive in extreme temperatures, but there are still many that will. What are some facts about Aloe vera? Aloe vera cut pieces can be purchased to be used in burn applications. To stimulate fruit and flower development, you can either use foliar or low-nitrogen feed. You can also try to propagate the succulent from healthy cuttings if you think that the plant is too damaged to replant. When you think about the desert heat, what comes to mind? Echeveria can tolerate some heat, but cannot withstand extended freezing temperatures. Sempervivum is a cold-hardy succulent, while Echeveria is a tender succulent.

Every Echeveria species has its own dormancy. Let's see what that means for succulents. So, let's dive a bit deeper on what being an opportunistic grower means in terms of succulent dormancy and, therefore, succulent care. They may be focused on growing deeper roots that can withstand heat and drought better. Insufficient sunlight can cause succulents to become too stretched. Make sure they get adequate sunlight where they are. Graptoveria is more common in plants with thick leaves. This is due to the Graptopetalum parent's thickness. Succulents can be active during the spring, winter, and fall, even though they are dormant. However, during the coldest parts of the winter (December/January in the US) they will go through a mini dormancy. However, during the hottest parts of summer (July/August US), they will go under a mini-dormancy and slow their growth. Even succulents considered "summer-growers" will slow their growth in the hottest parts of the year.

Once temperatures get below 40degF though, you'll see growth slowing down drastically. Before you start, get your equipment organized. Here's a list to help you get started.
