Not all succulents are beautiful; in fact, some are just plain ugly.
Many succulent fans fell into this hobby because they were drawn in by the pretty, delicate looks of succulents, and once they see a beautiful one, they just can't walk past it. Today, the editor will rank the top ten ugliest succulents for you, so you can appreciate a different side of them.
No. 10: Monilaria moniliformis (Bunny Succulent)
When it is young, doesn't it look like a little bunny, all cute and adorable? Its two upright ears melt so many girls' hearts. But after it grows up... it really turns into a wild, tangled mess.
No. 9: Green Turtle Egg (Muiria hortenseae)
It has a chubby body, like a green gummy candy, but the editor has never figured out why "egg" alone would not do, and why it has to be a green turtle's... Still, compared with some succulents, it is a bit ugly, but if you grow it well, it is still kind of ugly-cute.
No. 8: Astrophytum asterias (Sea Urchin Cactus)
People with trypophobia should look away. A bunch of white spots just like piles of mealybugs, plus fuzzy wart-like bumps, as if it has gone moldy. It is as ugly as ugly gets!
Does anyone have some Huahuashen? Kill these piles of mealybugs.
No. 7: Butterfly Medal (Dinteranthus)
What! What on earth is this? Where is the butterfly you promised? Are you showing me the corpse of a butterfly? Looking like this, it really does not deserve such a beautiful name!
No. 6: Duke (Noble)
The name sounds like it carries a noble air, and it feels very high-end, right? But it grows... a bit weird. It is very much like a healthy succulent that has grown tumors on its body.
No. 5: Raging Wave (Agave)
It sounds like it has the spirit of a mighty man, but it turns out to be a loser with a face full of pimples... As it grows and grows, some parts turn red, and then it looks even uglier!
No. 4: Whistle-Box (Ebisu Smile)
What? Must smile? Before it blooms, it looks like a piece of ginger covered in thorns. No! The ginger in my house is prettier than it! Even when it blooms, it still looks very strange... Looking at it, I cannot smile at all.
No. 3: Loach Palm (Senecio)
This one really disgusted me. For someone like me who is afraid of that kind of soft worm, I instantly have the urge to throw it away.
Why do people say it looks like a loach? It clearly looks exactly like a big green caterpillar parasitic on a leaf, and a whole bunch of them! And the dark-colored Loach Palm really looks like a snake! Just looking at the pictures, the editor's scalp is already going numb...
No. 2: Crested Myrtillocactus
This thing that looks like a lump of fat caterpillars is called "Crested Myrtillocactus." It is a combination of cactus and succulent. Looking at it gives you goosebumps, right? Some people say it looks more like fatty intestine or poop...
No. 1: Crested Golden Finger
It feels especially like brain matter, and moldy brain matter at that, and also like a pile of maggots squirming there... This is absolutely the death spot for people with trypophobia!!!
After seeing these impossibly ugly succulents, are you still feeling okay?
