As a succulent enthusiast, the dream is to grow lots of cute succulents. Today, the editor recommends a few affordable and easy-to-grow succulents, so you won't be short of money for your plant hobby.

Ghost Plant (Graptopetalum paraguayense)

Ghost Plant is one of the easy-to-grow varieties in the Crassulaceae family. It grows quickly and is also very easy to propagate. Buy a small plant, and when it has grown a bit, you can pick a few leaves for leaf propagation, and it will easily multiply into a large pot.

Sedum dasyphyllum 'Minor' (Hime Shinbijin)

Sedum dasyphyllum 'Minor' has a small and delicate plant form. Its glossy jade-green leaves turn red under sunlight, very beautiful.

When the environment is slightly shaded, the leaves turn emerald green again, so growing one pot lets you enjoy multiple looks. When buying Sedum dasyphyllum 'Minor', you don't need a large plant either; cuttings and division are both very easy.

Echeveria 'Dae Wa Jit'

Echeveria 'Dae Wa Jit' is also called the colored stone lotus. It loves light, and the more sufficient the light, the better the plant's color and shape are displayed.

Echeveria 'Dae Wa Jit' can be propagated by leaf cuttings, but its growth rate is somewhat slow. Gardeners who find it troublesome can buy some already-grown plants to raise, and the price is not expensive either.

Feng Ling Yu (Conophytum)

The Feng Ling Yu plant is small and cute, and the flowers it produces are also very beautiful. The leaf windows of the Feng Ling Yu plant are transparent, used to absorb light for photosynthesis, very unique.

After buying bare-root plants, don't rush to plant them. You should let them dry for a few days, then apply some plant ash to the wounds, which can effectively prevent rot. After newly planting, don't water too much; keeping the soil moist is enough.

Zi Chi Bai Lian (Echeveria)

The leaf surface of Zi Chi Bai Lian has a faint white powder, and the leaf tips turn a beautiful pink under sunlight. In winter, with large temperature differences, the leaves also turn slightly red.

Zi Chi Bai Lian has strong propagation ability, generally propagated by leaf cuttings or side shoots. It can be propagated by cuttings in all four seasons, but spring is the most vigorous propagation period.

Ruby Glow (Sedum rubrotinctum)

Ruby Glow is also called corn kernels. Its leaves are one by one, glossy and plump. Ruby Glow is very easy to grow and does well under different light or semi-shaded environments.

Ruby Glow can be propagated by stem cuttings or leaf cuttings. Leaf cuttings easily survive, and the small leaves will grow into a new pot after some time. Growing one pot is worth many pots.

Diyu (Lithops)

Diyu has beautiful colors, and the plant looks like little ingots, with very beautiful flowers too. Diyu is usually propagated by sowing. Seedlings emerge quickly and grow fast. After sowing seeds, you can have a small pot of beautiful Diyu after some time.
