Once succulents start growing, the tiny buds pack together so densely they're even more spectacular than spider plants.

So far, there are more than 10,000 species of succulents worldwide, and that's not even counting the uncatalogued hybrid varieties! With so many names, even Huahua often gets confused. Still, sticking to the principle of growing plenty rather than just a few, Huahua first picked out some easy-to-grow succulents, and never expected that growing them would bring on trypophobia. Come take a look too~

Echeveria runyonii 'Topsy Turvy'

Echeveria runyonii 'Topsy Turvy' is the most surreal succulent Huahua has ever seen. It easily develops fasciation, taking on all kinds of bizarre, misshapen forms.

New buds keep sprouting from the stems of Echeveria runyonii 'Topsy Turvy' - anyone with trypophobia won't be able to grow this one

But given how fast it multiplies, growing it is also deeply satisfying. Flower lovers who like this style can give it a try~

Kalanchoe daigremontiana (Mother of Thousands)

Speaking of succulents that make most people's skin crawl, we can't leave out Mother of Thousands. From a distance it doesn't look like much, but up close, the leaves... a whole ring of tiny mother-of-thousands plantlets along the edges!

Many flower lovers who grow Mother of Thousands get tired of it, but Huahua warns: never toss it out carelessly. Throw it outdoors and it can spread across a whole patch - a true "biological invasion"!

Graptopetalum mendozae

Graptopetalum mendozae can be called a succulent with tenacious vitality; growing it for three to five years is no problem. But look at the pot below - it has practically grown into a spirit.

Graptopetalum mendozae not only sprouts quickly, it also has lots of leaves. Give it more sun in autumn and the leaves slowly turn a jade color, looking very beautiful. This pot of densely packed Graptopetalum mendozae - does it win your heart?

Sempervivum tectorum (Hens and Chicks)

Among the very first succulents Huahua grew was Sempervivum tectorum, and it's still alive today. No one cared for it or paid it any attention, and then look at it...

The leaves of Sempervivum tectorum are unlike other succulents. These fuzzy leaves are more drought-tolerant; even scattered in wasteland they can grow into a whole patch. Calling it a dense-growing succulent really is fitting!

Echeveria 'Secunda' (Yu Die)

Echeveria 'Secunda' has the standard "succulent face", with a rosette shape and leaves that grow in a regular pattern, so it easily becomes a dense-growing succulent.

Not only that, Echeveria 'Secunda' also easily grows into an old stem. Flower lovers who want quick results can grow a pot - it can save quite a bit of care effort~

Sedum acre 'Aureum' (Gold Moss Stonecrop)

Although Sedum acre 'Aureum' is fairly small, its looks are anything but plain. Whether as an old stem or a leggy plant, it can still give that bursting-out-of-the-pot feel.

Sedum acre 'Aureum' grown with strict water control is plump, with densely packed leaves. Give it some sun and the color looks even better~

Crassula 'Pagoda Village'

The leaves of Crassula 'Pagoda Village' stack layer upon layer and keep growing endlessly. This regularly growing stem tip - does it make your eyes spin?

Not only are the leaves worth seeing, but Crassula 'Pagoda Village' flowering is also a highlight. The tiny red-and-white flowers are too many to count. This succulent that blooms like crazy - does it win your heart?

Sedum hispanicum (Spanish Stonecrop)

Sedum hispanicum is usually a supporting player, used in succulent arrangements for contrast, but because of its super strong vitality it often "laughs last", dominating the whole pot!

Because more and more people grow succulents, many roadsides now have succulents taking root where they fall. Sedum hispanicum outdoors is also very aggressive!

Orostachys furusei (Chinese Dunce Cap)

Orostachys furusei keeps spreading and growing, and the offshoots it produces take root again. This crazy reproduction speed is truly breathtaking!

Cut off the little rosettes it sends out and replant them as a new pot, and you'll harvest a full pot of Orostachys furusei again - a total bargain.

Lithops (Living Stones)

Lithops, commonly known as "butt flower", is very popular this year. Because they're only button-sized, sowing them is more convenient: line a disposable lunch box with nutrient soil, scatter the seeds on top, shade + mist with water, and they grow up in 1 month.

In less than 2 months they fill the pot. At this point it's best to divide them into separate pots, otherwise the little butts will be squeezed until they burst!

Lithops is very drought-tolerant. In autumn it "explodes" and sheds its skin. Looking at this "bursting out of its clothes" picture below, it makes anyone's trypophobia act up!
