Last Updated: 2024/11/09, When you see this name, do you think it is very interesting? It refers to the plants of the family crassulaceae and rooting genera. It also has many other names, such as "leaf root", "wound medicine", "leaf bud burst", "shameless" and so on, which are all very interesting. It is mainly distributed in the southern provinces of our country. Some people think it is succulent. However, this is not very strict. So what is the relationship between them?

1. The relationship between the two

Strictly speaking, "thick-skinned plant" is a kind of "succulent". In addition to this kind of plant, "succulent" also includes many other species, such as "Huang Li", "Green Beauty", "stone flower", "bachelor tree" and so on. In addition, all kinds of cactus also belong to the category of "succulent". Therefore, we can conclude that "succulent" covers a much larger range and includes the former type of plant.

In addition, different regions have different views on "thick-skinned plants". Some areas think that it refers to "Yushu", while others think that it refers to "misty moon" and "winter beauty". However, no matter which region is said, they are considered to be succulent. However, because their leaves are very thick and their vitality is very tenacious, they are habitually called "cheeky plants".

2. Classification

Combining the views of different regions, the "thick-skinned plants" we are talking about now mainly include the following two types:

(1) Winter Beauty: also known as "East Beauty", the leaves are slightly pointed. It is usually blue, and if the light is good, it may turn into a light pink. In addition, there is white powder on the surface of its leaves, which is very beautiful.

(2) Yushu: this plant is relatively tall and can reach one to three meters. From the end of spring to the beginning of summer, it will produce white or light pink flowers, charming flowers. The leaves are oval, grayish green and fleshy.
