Friends who are used to growing succulents can usually tell the difference between common varieties and expensive ones at a glance. Common varieties are generally more often seen in flower markets and are relatively cheaper, while expensive ones usually refer to newly bred varieties of the popular picks on the market, so their prices are higher. However, whether expensive or common, the main thing before buying is whether it catches each person's eye. Let's get to know several cheap and easy-to-grow succulent varieties below.

This is a classic and highly popular variety. Besides being easy to color up, it is also fairly forgiving about soil; even using garden soil to grow it is not a big problem, and in southern regions it can even be planted in the ground.

Pink Doll

Pink Doll can be considered a variety that is not afraid of summer. It is natively a hybrid of Echeveria 'Laine's Elf', so its appearance is very neat and small, and on the succulent it fully inherits the tough, durable genes of Echeveria 'Laine's Elf'. It is especially recommended for beginner succulent growers to try their hand at caring for.

Graptosedum 'Francesco Baldi'

It has strong vitality and is drought-tolerant, sun-tolerant and heat-tolerant, making it a truly tough and easy-to-grow plant.

Snow Rabbit

In recent years the price of the Snow Rabbit variety has become very low, while in earlier years, before more new succulent varieties appeared, it counted as an expensive variety. In appearance its leaves are plump and chubby, each one tightly wrapped like a flower bud. Among them, the leaf center is a powdery purple, while the back of the leaf is a pale pink; overall it looks very beautiful and is a variety well worth recommending.

Pudding

Pudding, also known as Mingyue, has leaves shaped like lanceolate leaves, and the leaf color changes according to differences in temperature and environment, mainly turning yellow or green. Overall it looks as cute as pudding and makes people love it so much they cannot put it down.
