They are very suitable for lazy people to place on the balcony, requiring no management for years, while also serving as decoration.

Among the four seasons, wine cup roses have the highest mortality rate in summer. The high temperatures can easily cause black rot, as their leaves are concentrated together. If watering is not careful, and water droplets fall into the center of the wine cup rose leaves, it can cause rot if not addressed promptly.
Wine cup roses grown indoors in summer basically do not need to be watered at all, and there will be no problem if no water is given. The indoor temperature is relatively low, and they will not die from lack of water; at most, the outer leaves will be consumed. By increasing watering in autumn, the leaves will grow back. Water when necessary and stop completely when not, to avoid death.

Wine cup roses are very inexpensive in summer, costing only a few dollars. Friends who like wine cup roses can buy them in summer. I usually do not recommend buying succulents in summer, but wine cup roses are special. After buying, repair the roots and plant them in dry soil without needing to take care of them. Planting succulents in dry soil will never rot the roots.
In dry soil, the bottom roots of wine cup roses may grow some fine fibrous roots. There is no need to worry about them; we should let nature take its course and not water them. Wait for the cool autumn weather and lower temperatures, then water appropriately. During this period, the new roots will quickly fill the pot, and normal watering will restore growth.
There is no need to water when the temperature exceeds 30 degrees, especially in southern China where the temperature is particularly high. Planting in dry soil on a pot is not a problem as long as it is not exposed to the sun. Dry soil does not affect the growth of succulents during their dormancy period, but it is necessary to water frequently during the growing season.
