12 unique and strange succulents you've probably never seen before
Succulents are a great low-maintenance option for anyone who’s looking to add a bit of color and life to their home. But if you’re sick of seeing the same old mini cacti, there are so many more options for you to consider!
Read on for 12 of the most unique succulents to consider for your own living space:
1. This Kalanchoe
We love the unique sunset colors on this kalanchoe plant. It’s a bit bigger than a standard succulent, but we think it’d look great in a front hallway or kitchen.
2. This Haworthia
Look at the way this Haworthia seems to glow when the sun shines on it! There’s something magical and other-worldly about it. We’d add it to a windowsill or yard to show off to our neighbors. It looks like lots of tiny oil paintings.
3. This Greenovia Dodrentalis
Have you ever seen a cuter cabbage? Okay, so this isn’t actually a cabbage – it’s a Greenovia Dodrentalis. If you’re looking for a rose that lasts more than one season, this is your answer.
4. These Lithops
Are they painted rocks, brains, mysterious sea creatures from a coral reef, or candy? Actually, they’re Lithops – colorful succulents that would look great in a neutral white or grey room. They’re mesmerising.
5. This Conophytum
Look at these tiny hearts! If you’re looking for a happy reminder of love, you’ll find it in this plant. There are actually millions of kinds of Conophytum, and they all look as cool as each other. Take your pick!
6. This Mammillaria
We’re not convinced that these plants aren’t secretly golf balls in disguise. Imagine actually losing a golf ball in a Mammillaria tree? Nightmare!
7. This Astrophytum Myriostigma
This succulent is another one that looks like a mysterious sea creature. If you’ve always fancied your own pet starfish, here’s a simpler solution. Just remember to water it when it needs a little love!
8. This Pseudolithos
It might look a bit like a moldy brain, but there’s something about the Pseudolithos that we can’t help loving. We love the random fluffy bit protruding from its side. It looks like an ugly work of art.
9. This Stapelia
A furry flower? Genius! This Stapelia would look adorable in a girly bedroom. It’s somehow cute, cosy and modern at the same time. The Stapelia flower originated in Africa, but we’re lucky enough to be able to buy them in the US nowadays.
10. These Tilandsias
Succulents as sea creatures are clearly a thing. These hanging Tilandsias look just like jellyfish, but without the sting. They grow upside down, which is why their actual plant parts look like green stingers. How cool would these look hanging in a conservatory or front porch?
11. These Pangeae
We’re actually a bit creeped out by these Pangea. They genuinely look like two sets of lips kissing. In fact, they look less like plants and more like human body parts. If you’re a fan of the weird and wonderful, these succulents will be right up your street.
12. This Crassula alstonii
If you enjoy a bonsai tree, you’ll love this Crassula alstonii. It’s its own miniature hill, complete with a tiny tree on top. There’s something oddly peaceful about it. Much easier to maintain than an actual sized tree on a hill, too.
