Yellow succulents are a unique and eye-catching addition to any plant collection. While most succulents are known for their green or blue-green hues, some varieties exhibit beautiful shades of yellow. Here are a few examples of yellow succulents:
Haworthia Cooperi
Haworthia are native to South Africa, mostly with thick fleshy leaves filled with a translucent jelly and formed into a rosette. They vary greatly in size, color (usually green, but sometimes brownish) and form. Many have attractively patterned leaves. Flowers are small, white and bell-shaped on long stems. The best temperature range for Haworthia is around 50-100 degree. It could be fine if you keep it in room during the winter time. Water it once a week during the Spring, Summer and Fall. Water it once two/three weeks during the Winter time. Change the pot in one/two year. warp. The diameter of Haworthia is about 1.5 inches
Corpuscularia lehmannii 'Variegata' (Ice Plant)
Corpuscularia lehmannii 'Variegata' is an attractive succulent with thick variegated leaves arranged in opposing pairs. It grows up to 8 inches (20 cm) tall and up to 12 inches (30 cm) wide. Leaves are 3-angled, grey-green with creamy-yellow irregular markings, and up to 1.6 inches (4 cm) long. Flowers are yellow, daisy-like, and up to 1.6 inches (4 cm) in diameter.
Haworthia Picta Okubo
The windows on these leaves are covered with lines and white spots that have blended together, You can see a hint of pink starting in the inner leaf of this one, which will get more pronounced with more light.Haworthias can do well indoors if you have a bright window. They like morning sun but should not bake in hot afternoon sun. They are also extra sensitive to staying wet, they need very fast draining soil or their roots will rot.Current plants offered are very established, grown in deep pots with robust roots
Sedum adolphii (Golden Sedum)
Sedum adolphi, also known as Sedum nussbaumerianum, is a lovely much-branched succulent shrub with spreading, sprawling, or ascending stems and yellow-green leaves that take on the orange-red highlights in full sun. It grows up to 12 inches (30 cm) tall. Leaves are broadly lanceolate to obovate and up to 1.2 inches (3 cm) long. As stems age, they produce new leaves, shedding the oldest. From late winter to spring, the white, lightly fragrant flowers appear in flat-topped umbel-like inflorescences.
The late Henk 't Hart and Bert Bleij wrote the Sedum section in the lexicon "Illustrated Handbook of Succulent Plants: Crassulaceae" and noted Sedum nussbaumerianum to be very similar if not identical to S. adolphi. In "Sedum of North America North of the Mexican Plateau," Robert Clausen treated them as separate species in his book based on small differences in the inflorescences (S. nussbaumerianum has flowers all in the same plane, while S. adolphi has petals at different levels in cymes). However, the facts indicate that S. nussbaurianum should be regarded as a synonym of S. adolphi. The two plants have the same chromosome count, they came from plants grown from the same source (seeds gathered by Carl Purpus in 1907), and both have corymbiform inflorescences. Therefore, with a priority of 12 years, Sedum adolphi is the valid name.
Though often seen with 2 "i"s, this epithet's proper spelling should have a single "i" as this is the genitive form of Adolphus, the Latinized name for Adolf Engler.
Echeveria 'Lemon Lime'
Echeveria 'Golden Glow' or 'Lemon Lime' is a beautiful yellow and lime green succulent with thick long spoon shaped leaves. In the summer season if planted or placed in full sun the leaf margins will become red and contrast beautifully with the yellow and green.
Graptosedum 'California Sunset'
Graptosedum 'California Sunset' forms rosettes with lanceolate bluish-green leaves that blush pinkish-orange in strong light. Possibly a hybrid of Sedum adolphi. Star-shaped white flowers appear during spring and summer. Excellent color accent for rock gardens or as a small ground cover.
Crassula ovata 'Hummel's Sunset'
Crassula ovata 'Hummel's Sunset' (also known as 'Sunset') is a golden form of the jade plant with glowing lime green to gold foliage edged in bright red. Brighter colours are brought out by more sun, leaner soils, and a little drought stress.
Aeonium 'Sunburst' (Copper Pinwheel)
Aeonium 'Sunburst' (Copper Pinwheel) - This succulent has large rosettes of variegated green and white leaves edged in bright, coppery red that stand up on stalks to 18 inches tall. Requires full sun (coastal) to bright shade and occasional watering for best color
Pachyphytum oviferum (Moonstones)
Pachyphytum oviferum (Moonstones) - A prostrate succulent to 4 inches tall by 12 or more inches wide with white stems bearing pale blue-green to bluish-purple rounded leaves in a rosette at the stems tips. The flowers, which appear in winter to early spring atop reddish 1 foot long stems, have red-orange petals surrounded by fleshy sepals the same color as the foliage. Plant in full sun along the coast or with some shade during the hottest part of day. Listed as frost tender but we find these plants can tolerate short duration temperatures in the mid to high 20s° F without damage, but prolonged cold freezes the leaves and stems. This unusual and attractive plant is erect at first but lays over under the weight of the succulent leaves. It is known in the wild only from a single location on rock cliffs at 3,900 feet in San Luis Potosi. The name for the genus comes from the Greek word 'pachys' meaning "thick" and phyton (phuton) meaning "plant" because of the thick swollen leaves and the specific epithet comes from the Latin words 'ovum' meaning "egg" and 'fera' or 'ferum' meaning "carrying" again in reference to the shape of the turgid leaves. The common name "Moonstones" and alternate name "Sugar Almond Plant" is also a reference to the shape and color of the leaves.
Remember that the intensity of the yellow color can vary depending on factors such as sunlight exposure and overall plant health. To maintain their vibrant colors, ensure your yellow succulents receive adequate sunlight, well-draining soil, and avoid overwatering. If you're considering adding yellow succulents to your collection, be sure to research the specific care requirements for each variety, as their needs can differ slightly.
