There is a gardening enthusiast who loves growing succulents and is a total succulent addict. The succulents he grows are plump and chubby, very adorable. However, his relatives and friends had been coveting his succulents for a long time, but since the enthusiast kept a close watch, they never had the chance to make a move. But one weekend, the enthusiast went out to play for two days, and when he came home, there was no trace of his succulents!

So what kind of succulents did the enthusiast grow that made people's mouths water?

This pot of Graptopetalum paraguayense was the result of 3 years of dedicated care by the enthusiast. The effort invested was naturally considerable, and his feelings for it ran deep. You can imagine how it felt to come back from a trip and find the Graptopetalum paraguayense gone.

Afterward, the enthusiast's family even told him that the Graptopetalum paraguayense, when blended into juice and mixed with a bit of honey, tasted quite good and was delicious. The enthusiast rolled his eyes so hard they could have gone through the roof, and could only hold back his anger.

Then there was the enthusiast's beloved plant - the Orostachys japonica. This Orostachys japonica was treated by the enthusiast as something he was afraid would melt in his mouth or break if dropped from his hand. He fanned it in summer and kept it warm in winter, afraid it would get sick or freeze, yet it still could not escape being "destroyed" by the elderly neighbor.

Old Zhang's wife had a cold and a fever. He heard that Orostachys japonica could clear heat and detoxify, so he came to the house, took the Orostachys japonica away, and boiled it into water for his wife to drink! The enthusiast was utterly heartbroken. He probably won't grow Orostachys japonica ever again.

The Pachyphytum oviferum also did not survive that short weekend. The enthusiast had originally decided not to make a fuss about it, but then his mother slowly said, "This one doesn't taste good, too bland, and it has a medicinal herb taste..." The enthusiast was truly beyond tears!
