Echeveria Ruyonii
This species of succulent is one of my favourites, because the peculiar shape of its leaves, elongated with a curved tip, makes it look like a flower, and from my experience, it has been one of the least complicated plants to care for.
Its irrigation is scarce, every 15 days, the amount of water according to the size and avoid excess water because it can rot.
I have learned that it needs a lot of lighting, I recommend not putting it in direct sunlight during strong hours because its petals are very delicate, they can get burned.
And they can also be kept in the shade, without forgetting to locate this plant in a place where sunlight filters, near a window, approximately 3 hours a day minimum.
It has little root so the size of the pot can be 10cm high and up.
Crassula Ovatta
Crassula ovata is one of the succulents with fleshy leaves, well known for its resemblance to a tree, it is ideal for people who love plants but have little time to care for them, as it is resistant to drought.
The watering of this can be every 15 days when is summer. In winter it can be every 20 days. The amount of water varies depending on the size of the better known as “jade tree”.
This plant can be placed outdoors, in direct sun or in semi-shade.
When planted in my pots, they generally place it indoors and it can also be kept indoors, but from my experience, I always recommend that it be placed in a place that gets a lot of natural light.
It can be 3 hours a day or if it can be left permanently in a well-lit place it is better.
Alworthia Black Gem
Alworthia black gem Also known as Aloe Black Gem, it has beautiful dark green leaves, they can be kept in semi-shade and when exposed mostly to direct sun, the leaves turn dark purple or dark red. (EYE I highly recommend only the sun rays between 7-10: 30am).
This does not grow as much as other aloes, it maintains its maximum height of approximately 15cm high, so they are ideal for growing in pots.
Based on my experience, we can keep it indoors but do not forget that to be healthy it needs a few hours exposed to the sun or also place it in a very bright place. Clarifying again that the colours of its leaves depend a lot on the intensity of light it receives.
