Now let's begin the main text:
With the growing popularity of succulents and the expanding influence of Succulent Plant Atlas, every day new enthusiasts leave messages in the background asking for recommendations on which succulents are more worth getting. Actually, this question is very hard to answer. After all, there are more than 10,000 kinds of succulents in the world, and everyone's preferences are different. It is really difficult to say which varieties are worth recommending.
But in response to readers' requests, the Village Chief has made a rough recommendation based on the appearance frequency of succulents over the past few years and online sales, for friends who have trouble choosing. It is for your reference only~
The succulents recommended to everyone are mainly based on several standards:
1. Very easy to keep alive. Succulents are not disposable tableware; they are a little "healing" life. Only the easy-to-grow ones are worth recommending to beginners.
2. Beautiful appearance. Their cute shapes are of course the most attractive thing about succulents~
3. Cheap price. Once you fall into the succulent pit, it is as deep as the sea, and from then on your wallet is just a passerby! Everyone has experienced this~
4. Very easy to color up! If you get one and it never colors up, what is the difference between that and growing a pot of green vegetables?
NO.1--The first recommendation must be the noble queen [Echeveria laui】！
Reason for selection: Once an expensive little fairy, with the unremitting propagation efforts of growers and succulent lovers, it has basically fallen into the ordinary category. When the temperature difference is large, it easily colors up and gives off a pink fairy-like aura. PS: Absolutely do not let others touch the leaves with itchy hands!
Clumping index：★☆☆☆☆
NO.2--Representative of the Three Thin-Leaf Fairies [Echeveria cante】
Reason for selection: Just ask, is it fairy-like or not! Recognized as one of the Three Thin-Leaf Fairies, it has now successfully become affordable for everyone. No further explanation needed~
Clumping index：★☆☆☆☆
NO.3--King of cute pets [Bear's Paw】
Reason for selection: The adorably dazed look of little bear paws has always been irresistibly cute! Especially the red nails after sun exposure, how can anyone resist the temptation of red paws! The most beautiful is variegated Bear's Paw, but the price is a bit high. Fortunately, the green Bear's Paw is already quite cheap. Remember a few days ago when the Village Chief organized a group purchase, a small cluster with many heads was only a few yuan~
Clumping index：★★★☆☆
NO.4--The fighter jet among ordinary succulents [Graptopetalum paraguayense 'Bronze'】
Clumping index：★★★☆☆
NO.5--Once an expensive succulent [Echeveria chihuahuensis】
Reason for selection: Still a classic variety that has stood the test of the market and has been warmly pursued by many succulent lovers to this day. Although it has now fallen to the level of a free gift, whether in terms of appearance or ease of care, it is still a very good succulent worth getting. (Tap the image for a surprise)
Clumping index：★☆☆☆☆
NO.6--The overlooked beauty [Graptopetalum 'Purple Heart'】
Reason for selection: As its name suggests, it can develop a gorgeous purple color with just casual care; add to that its tendency to clump and show off for you, how could such a succulent not make people's hearts flutter?
Clumping index：★★★★★
NO.7--Variegated Haworthia cooperi
Reason for selection: An important reason for recommending variegated Haworthia cooperi rather than Haworthia cooperi is that variegated Haworthia cooperi is just too easy to color up! Compared with Haworthia cooperi, unless you have particularly good geographical and climatic advantages, it is really hard to grow that charming red~
Clumping index：★★★★☆
NO.8--Cotyledon orbiculata 'Damo'
Reason for selection: Besides being easy to clump, highly attractive, cheap, and easy to care for, Damo has another most attractive advantage--it smells very fragrant after sun exposure!!!
Clumping index：★★★★★
NO.9--Echeveria 'Fleur Blanca'
Reason for selection: A representative variety of the classic red-edged series, plus its small and cute size and unbeatable pup-producing ability, these are the best reasons countless experts and beginners choose it.
Clumping index：★★★★★
NO.10--Golden Sedum japonicum
Reason for selection: The most recommended pot-edge covering plant! Bar none! Just a small handful can fill the entire balcony! Looking out at a full view of gold, wouldn't it give you a feeling of "abundance"?
Clumping index：★★★★★
NO.11--Aeonium arboreum (series)
Reason for selection: Among the Aeonium series, the most recommended is still Aeonium arboreum 'Zwartkop' with round leaves. No matter the season, as long as it gets sun, it shows a glossy black color; the Aeonium series also easily develops old stems for shaping into bonsai. A large, vigorous black-toned succulent with a domineering shape can absolutely attract the eyes of every guest who comes to visit.
Clumping index：★★★★☆
NO.12--Aeonium 'Sunburst'
Reason for selection: Its colors change with the four seasons. In summer, when the temperature difference is small, it is basically all green; while in spring and autumn, when the day-night temperature difference is large, it presents multiple colors at the same time, including yellow, pink, green, and red, as vivid as a flower.
Clumping index：★★★★☆
NO.13--Sempervivum 'Purple Beauty'
Reason for selection: The toughness and ease of care of Sempervivum succulents is well known, but the most familiar one, Sempervivum tectorum, is hard for beginners to grow into a stunning state, so we recommend its little junior sister--Sempervivum 'Purple Beauty'! In this season, it should already have easily turned red~
Clumping index：★★★★★
NO.14--Crassula 'Milia'
Reason for selection: A year ago, Crassula 'Milia' was also a genuine expensive little cute thing, but because it propagates too quickly, it also quickly fell into the free-gift category. Even so, this does not affect Crassula 'Milia's appearance or its status in the hearts of succulent growers. As long as there is sufficient light, it will definitely turn red. This advantage alone is enough for it to be selected, right!
