All 17 of the succulent "beauties" are right here - do you know any others?

Although succulent names come in all sorts of varieties, most of them fit their plants perfectly. As it happens, among succulents there is a whole group of "beauties," each with her own figure and charm. So who exactly are these beauties? Little Exquisite Life will get to know them with you today.

1. Pachyphytum 'Amethystinum' (Peach Beauty)

I believe many friends were won over by the plump Peach Beauty and fell into the succulent hobby because of it. Peach Beauty is a hybrid of Pachyphytum bracteosum and Graptopetalum 'Taehyun' (Daotaohime). Its leaves are oblong-ovate, with a distinct white powdery coating on the surface, and when carefully grown they become as cute and thick as a peach. Peach Beauty grown without enough light has white-green leaves; in an environment with ample sunlight and a big temperature difference, once it colors up it turns pink. "My family has a Peach Beauty, raised in the inner chambers unknown to others" - Peach Beauty is pink, tender, adorable, and plump; you can never love it enough.

2. Pachyphytum 'Mingetsu' (Moon Beauty)

"It is hard to tell anyone what is on my mind; I tell it to the blue sky and bright moon. My beloved plays a jade flute in the wind, while the beauty dances in her silk robes toward the moon." As the mother of Peach Beauty, when in a plump, round state they look quite similar; the difference is that Peach Beauty's leaf tips taper to a point and are pink, while Moon Beauty's tips are round with no point, and its color is rather darker. Moon Beauty's leaf shape and color are also varied, so you can rely on your own growing skill to raise her into different styles of Moon Beauty.

3. Pachyphytum oviferum (Star Beauty / White Beauty)

Star Beauty's leaf color is pure and elegantly understated, ranging from blue-green to pale purple, with a slight rosy tint, and mostly covered in white powder. Star Beauty looks somewhat similar to Peach Beauty that has not colored up; the difference is that Peach Beauty's tip is pink while Star Beauty's tip is white. Star Beauty is not as fragile as a beauty in real life - she is very tough and easy to grow. As long as the temperature does not exceed 25°C, there is no problem no matter how much sun she gets. She is an economical, affordable, worthwhile common variety to pick up. In addition, Star Beauty has another name: White Beauty. So from now on, do not ask about the difference between Star Beauty and White Beauty, because this thing has two names.

4. Sedum dasyphyllum 'Minor' (Hime Star Beauty)

Star Beauty's little sister. Putting the character "hime" in front of a succulent name means a similar form but smaller size. Although they are sisters, Star Beauty belongs to the Crassulaceae family, Pachyphytum genus, while Hime Star Beauty belongs to the Crassulaceae family, Sedum genus. Hime Star Beauty's leaves are small, and its clustered growth is very spectacular. Its other sisters include Sedum dasyphyllum 'Major' (Oohime Star Beauty), whose leaves are larger than Hime Star Beauty's and whose color changes are richer than Hime Star Beauty's; Sedum dasyphyllum 'Lilac Mound' (Spiral-leaf Hime Star Beauty), whose leaves show a spiral feel; and Sedum dasyphyllum var. glanduliferum (Hairy Hime Star Beauty), whose white fuzz on the leaf surface is very obvious.

5. Long-leaf Star Beauty

Well, you can tell from the name: the leaves are longer than Star Beauty's. The tip turns opaque white, and there have been cases where part of it turns pink.

6. Pachyphytum 'Viride' (Green Star Beauty)

If Star Beauty is White Beauty, then Green Star Beauty must be a bit greener than Star Beauty, haha. When grown in ample light with a big temperature difference and colored up, Green Star Beauty's leaf tips and leaf edges turn red while the rest is green - also ridiculously gorgeous.

7. Pachyphytum 'Clavatum' (Winter Beauty / East Beauty)

An all-time classic common variety, a must-have for beginners to practice on. Easy to form old stems, easy to cluster, can be green, pink, white, or blue-green; whether heavily made up or lightly adorned, it always suits her. It belongs to the varieties that will not die even if left fully outdoors with no care, and can still look beautiful for you. She can be compared to the wife of one's hard times in a man's heart. (Suddenly thought of the picture below.)

8. Pachyphytum 'Crystallinum' (Snow Beauty)

"Your hair is like snow, making the parting bleak and beautiful; for whom did I burn incense and move?" Seeing Snow Beauty inexplicably brings this lyric to mind. Snow Beauty's leaves are covered with a thick layer of snow-like white powder, very similar to Senecio candidans (Snow Lotus). Snow Beauty is still relatively niche in China; it seems seeds are more commonly sold, and, well, seedlings are very expensive.

9. Pachyphytum 'Lamp Beauty'

Lamp Beauty is a small-to-medium-sized succulent variety, easy to cluster, easy to care for. Once colored up, its leaves are thick and its leaf color is pink, like a beauty's slender, graceful hands, involuntarily reminding one of the scene of a beauty in red sleeves adding fragrance to the incense by the lamp.

10. Pachyphytum 'Jing Beauty'

In this succulent circle where plumpness is considered beautiful, Jing Beauty is the thinnest of the beauties. Jing Beauty is somewhat like a slender, rounded version of Star Beauty; its leaf color is green with pink, and the leaf tips easily turn red.

11. Pachyphytum 'Mikazuki' (Mikazuki Beauty)

Mikazuki Beauty is somewhat similar to Green Star Beauty, but Mikazuki Beauty's leaf tips and leaf edges more easily develop a red blush, and once colored up the color is even pinker and tender, with a jelly-like translucent quality.

12. Pachyphytum 'Drunk Beauty'

Drunk Beauty has thick leaf substance and a white waxy coating on the leaf surface, and is the succulent beauty most prone to forming a cristate (fascinated) growth. After Drunk Beauty cristates, it forms an old stem like a big foot sole, and once colored up it is a intoxicating jelly color. I once saw someone say that Drunk Beauty is actually a cristate form of Winter Beauty, but later it was confirmed that they are not the same variety.

Besides the above 12 beauties, there are also succulent beauties such as Fat Beauty, Sugar Beauty, Apple Beauty, Banana Beauty, and Egg Beauty. Due to limited expertise, Little Exquisite Life cannot introduce them one by one, and there are certainly other beauties that Little Exquisite Life does not know about.
