The succulent smelled like stinky feet as soon as I bought it, and the whole family told me to throw it away

The fragrance of flowers is intoxicating, and some grasses also carry a scent, but did you know that succulents can have fragrances too? Not only are there fragrant ones, there are also stinky ones! Haha, let's get to know them quickly, otherwise if you pick a "stinky" succulent and bring it home in the future, don't blame Huahua for not telling you!

Sedum dendroideum


Smell: It has a resinous smell; if you're not an ordinary person, don't get close to sniff it, you won't be able to stand it

Few people grow Sedum dendroideum, the price is above average, and on top of that, the smell...

Aeonium 'Lily Pad'


Smell: Uh--- stinky feet smell, coming in waves, sometimes strong, sometimes faint

As for this "stench", it gets stronger when there's a lack of water or strong sunlight; some people can't accept it, but some think it's okay

Echeveria 'Purple Velvet'


Smell: Some say it's a stinky feet smell, some say it's a muttony odor

The pungent smell of Echeveria 'Purple Velvet' is meant to drive away small insects, but unexpectedly it has now become a human's "pet", and the stink has turned into a flaw, simply boo hoo hoo

In this hot weather, just mentioning stinky feet makes one uncomfortable. No way, Huahua had better quickly find some fragrant succulents to refresh everyone

Sedum clavatum


Smell: Fresh, faint fragrance; smells refreshing, not greasy at all

Sedum clavatum is a famously fragrant Sedum succulent; after sun exposure, not only does the color turn pink and tender, but the fragrance also becomes stronger and stronger

Echeveria 'White Frost'


Smell: Sweet fragrance, stronger the more you smell it; the scent is only noticeable after being in the sun during the day

Echeveria 'White Frost' is very easy to cluster, and can fill a pot in no time; a single plant's scent is not obvious, but after clustering the scent becomes stronger

Echeveria 'Blackberry'


Smell: Sweet and fresh, with a bit of green grassy note

Echeveria 'Blackberry' is not "black" at all; when grown well, its colors are quite varied. It not only carries its own fragrance, but also likes to bloom. A friendly reminder from Huahua: blooming a lot consumes nutrients!

Echeveria 'Raspberry Ice'


Smell: Similar to the scent of vanilla ice cream, can be smelled both day and night

The famous little bun-like Echeveria 'Raspberry Ice', with its looks on point and a fragrant scent, full of girly charm

Cotyledon papillaris


Smell: At first sniff it's a rich lemon oil scent, but up close it's a bit stinky; fragrant from afar, stinky up close!

The smell of Cotyledon papillaris, some people like it while others can't stand it; especially when the sun hits it, the smell becomes even stronger, so smell it before growing it~

Graptopetalum 'Blue Bean'


Smell: A somewhat sweet and cloying fragrance, a bit like blueberry scent; basically not fragrant at night

Its scent is somewhat similar to that of Echeveria 'Raspberry Ice', and at night you can't smell much fragrance. It looks cute, but it fears heat, so it's hard to grow in summer

Echeveria 'Mini Lotus'


Smell: The scent is very faint, and also belongs to the sweet fragrance category

Echeveria 'Mini Lotus' is a hybrid variety, so its fragrance is not very stable

Sedum 'Spring'


Smell: Similar to green grass scent, not too sweet, fairly fresh

The scent of Sedum 'Spring' is quite unique; everyone who has smelled it thinks it's nice. Truly, you can't judge a "succulent" by its appearance

Sedum 'Creamy Lotus'


Smell: Really fragrant, great sweet scent, and the scent becomes stronger after sun exposure

Sedum 'Creamy Lotus' is a relatively old succulent variety, and many of its hybrid offspring also carry a similar fragrance~ a heroic mother!

Sedum 'Spring Joy'


Smell: The scent is similar to Sedum 'Creamy Lotus', with a fresh and sweet note

Sedum 'Spring Joy' is actually a hybrid offspring of Sedum 'Creamy Lotus', so the fragrance is the same. One can only say this kid is too good at inheriting traits; how come Huahua didn't inherit all the best qualities of its parents?

The above are the scented succulents that Huahua knows of

What other scented ones do you know?

Let's all chat about it together
