Succulents that can Withstand Extremely Hot Summers
by Sonu Verma
Portulacaria afra
This succulent will withstand temperatures much above 100°F in full sun. It provides a lovely lushness to the barren scene. While it is commonly seen in mounds or as a tall ground cover.
Climbing Aloe
Let the branches cascade from a pot to make an ideal hanging plant; reproduce by cutting a section, allowing it to dry, and putting the cut end in soil.
Lampranthus
This succulent thrives in great heat but is susceptible to sunburn, necessitating careful acclimatization in the fall to root and grow before the harsh heat sets in.
Lampranthus
It has a very unusual color pattern, with deep brown spikes on cream-colored stems and minty green foliage. Many variegated plants struggle with high heat.
Back Cactus
It has fewer spines than most other cactus kinds, although it might still leave some spikes on your fingers. The rest of the plant has a mild smooth texture.
Opuntia
This cactus is ideal for use in low-traffic environments because it may grow fairly large and requires little watering.
Mangave
Mangave, a trendy succulent, like 'Bloodspot,' has brilliant colors and patterns, making it a popular choice for full-sun gardens.
