The first time I grew succulents was still when I was working. Counting up to now, it has been more than 3 years. The first succulents I grew only stayed with me for half a year. As soon as summer came, they were completely wiped out! My heart went cold, so cold.
The real time I fell down the rabbit hole was after I had my baby, this big succulent. With nothing to do back in my hometown, I began to fall in love with this little plant called a succulent, and from then on there was no stopping it.
I stayed in my hometown for three months. When it was time to leave for the place where I work, I took both the big succulent and the little succulents with me! My husband even said I could just buy the little succulents once I got there, but I did not agree, and stubbornly brought the little succulents onto the train too. From then on, I began the life of taking care of both the big succulent and the little succulents! Over three years, they died and I bought more, I bought more and they died, and now I have over a hundred pots. Although they are all common varieties, they are all the apples of my eye!
Graptosedum 'Francesco Baldi' (willow-leaf lotus), the earliest succulent I still have. When it first arrived it had only one big head and two small heads, and now it has sprouted many little heads. Such a happy big family.
Blue Elf, bought in the same batch as the Graptosedum 'Francesco Baldi'. When it first arrived it had two heads, and now it has also produced many little babies!
Ruby, bought in the same batch. It just will not grow bigger, and it does not produce little heads either!
Red Powder Beauty, bought together with the ones above, a single head with a stem. It keeps growing taller and does not sprout new buds!
Chihuahua, bought together. It has grown so much bigger, but the old photos are all gone, so there is no way to compare!
White Phoenix, it sprouted a little head on the stem!
Unnamed. I bought a lot of succulents afterward, and I really cannot remember the names.
Green Bear, so adorable!
It seems to be Sasha Queen, I hope I remembered correctly. If I got it wrong, please correct me!

The seller said it was Ice Plum, but it seems a bit different from the Ice Plum above.

Sedum pachyphyllum (Maiden's Heart)
The earliest old-stem Graptopetalum paraguayense (Ghost Plant) has already died. This one is from a leaf cutting, two years old now. I have leaf-propagated so many Graptopetalum paraguayense; they are especially easy to keep alive.
Finally, here is my big succulent at home. It is already over two years old and has grown so fast. I hope my big succulent will not torment my little succulents anymore. This is my first submission, and I am looking forward to making the list.
