For many friends who have just entered the succulent pit, most of their impressions of succulent plants are beautiful and cute, and they are adorable at a glance. But what I'm going to introduce to you today is the strange side of succulent plants. Their appearance and habits have subverted your impression of traditional plants, even a little strange.

| | Tony |

This small green lock dragon, commonly known as Tony, looks like a pile of pee! Especially in the dry rocky beach of the origin of South Africa, its color is integrated with the surrounding environment, and if you don't look carefully, you really think it's animal poop. The thick white leaves are alternate and closely arranged, and the leaves are rough and grainy. Open beige flowers, very cute!

| | Square Tower |

The top view of this kind of flesh looks like a monster that is about to eat people. The gray-green leaves are rough and grainy, and the leaves are opposite, closely arranged, and look like a tower on the side, which is very enlightening.

| | Mountain Rose |

This "never withered rose" has become the first choice for Valentine's Day gifts. The rose-like parts are not flowers, but their leaves. Mountain roses have fleshy leaves arranged in the shape of a rosette.

In the hot season, they go into dormancy, when the leaves are tightly wrapped together, like budding roses, which usually last for months.

| | Bawang air pineapple |

The young lady with silver curly hair is actually very domineering. Commonly known as Bawang air pineapple, do not rely on soil growth, absorb water and nutrients in the air, can grow luxuriantly, but also can produce bright flowers! The good news for the plant killer!

| | Kam Die |

This meat is called brocade butterfly, also called stick leaf falling to the ground to take root, stick leaf immortal bird. The leaves are slender and fleshy, with many adventitious buds on the edge, just like resting little butterflies, which is very lovely.

Why is it called to take root or undead bird? It is because these little butterflies will leave their mother plant and fall to the ground when they mature. As long as they have the right environment, they will take root and grow quickly.

Things go to extremes, and such interesting habits can sometimes cause trouble, because they are so capable of growing!

| | small wine cup |

This kind of plant, which is like a small wine cup, is also a kind of succulent army, which is called small wine cup. The cup-like receptacle is its fleshy leaves, the edges like lotus leaves curl into the shape of a wine glass, and red flowers grow in the middle of the leaves, which is very curious.

| | Loach palm |

Let's take a look at this strange man, the flesh of the Loach's palm, whose tiny leaves withered and withered a long time ago, living on a fleshy stem like a cucumber like a thorn, much like a Loach running about in the soil.

| | Trachyandra tortilis |

Trachyandra tortilis does not have an official Chinese name (in fact, many meat names are established), this kelp-like alien plant, with broad leaves covered with big wavy curls, can also show dazzling pink as the seasons change, which is very fashionable.

| | Synaptophyllum Juttae |

Without a Chinese name, is it really good to grow yourself into a melting red candle? This adorable plant of the family Amygdaceae is distributed in Namibia. The fleshy opposite leaves are clasping, and the waxy appearance is bright red, so they look like wax droplets.

| | cloth ball |

These green, sea urchin-like creatures are called cloth balls, and their stripes are like their eight longitudinal edges, with a row of small obtuse teeth protruding in the middle, like knitted ones, and the cloth ball is as good as its name!

| | Blue halo |

This group of cute little rabbits, whose scientific name is Bianguanhuan, are full of saliva! Bunnies are more resistant to water and are afraid of drought. I like semi-overcast environment. If it shines all day, the rabbit's ears will become soft and droopy, usually after a night of recovery and adjustment, it will stand up the next day.

Look at the process from its germination to the growth of rabbit ears, it is so cured.
