Unique & Rare Succulents Worth Exploring Today

Unique & Rare Succulents

If you’re a fan of succulents and are looking for rare succulents that are really unique and beautiful, then you’ve come to the right place!

You are personally acquainted with the fat-plant block. You’re familiar with ghost plants, Lithops, jades, and a few different species of Echeveria.

You’d be surprised how frequently a Euphorbia is confused with a Cactus.

You are dubbed the cactus connoisseur by your peers. Expert in Kalanchoe and Pachphytum. However, your thirst for discovering unusual succulents is far from satisfied.

Unlike the jade plant tucked away in the office corner, there are uncommon succulents. These succulents exhibit distinct colors and anatomical adaptations that give them the appearance of another planet.

Not only are these succulents challenging to care for, but they are also difficult to find commercially. That is why they are considered to be rare succulents.

Maintaining a successful garden or nursery of rare succulents can be challenging, as many are difficult to grow or do not root readily. Or perhaps they cannot produce seeds or even propagate due to the few offsets they produce.

Finding rare succulents is becoming a reality thanks to tissue culture.

    Pachyphytum Compactum— "Little Jewel"

    This lovely succulent has a short stem and a neatly set rosette near the crown. Grey-white leaves with prominent white veins and purple tips define this plant.

    The flowers are pale yellow and clustered in the center of the plant, while the remainder of the flower is pinkish-orange.

    Pachyphytum can withstand intense sunlight and high temperatures but will perish below -6°C due to its inability to tolerate frost. (Discuss your fear of the cold.)

    This succulent is unconcerned about poor soil conditions if drainage is adequate, and it thrives in full or partial sunlight.

    We highly recommend Bonsai Jack’s soil mix. It is one of the most delicate soil mixtures available. It does not require mixing with other soils; it aids in root rot prevention, is perfectly pH balanced, and is pathogen-free (i.e., will not kill your plants). This is the soil that our office plants prefer. Purchase the 7 Gallon Bag if you are a plant nerd like us. Click here to purchase some of our favorite soil:

    Care must be taken when watering a plant. It is more likely for Pachyphytum to die from over-or under-watering. Allow the soil to dry out before watering the plant thoroughly.

    Ariocarpus trigonus— "Living Rock."

    It is a rosette-forming geophytic cactus that grows slightly above the ground. It has a rounded top and a globose stem, and its color is yellowish-green. They have lovely yellowish-white flowers with reddish midribs.

    Ariocarpus trigonus is primarily a low-growing succulent that grows to a height of 10 inches and a width of 12 inches.

    Ariocarpus requires cactus-specific soil. By utilizing generic soil mixes, drainage and aeration will be harmed.

    These succulents require a great deal of sunlight to thrive. Due to their habitats being dry and hot, they are susceptible to death from excessive sunlight.

    Shade cloth or even simply relocating the plants away from the sun during the hottest hours of the day would be beneficial in these instances.

     Ariocarpus will thrive in conditions of low humidity and room temperature. Water the Ariocarpus only when it becomes scorched. It is critical to wait for the soil to dry completely before watering it again. Winter watering is discouraged.

    Haworthia Truncata v. Maughanii

    This is a plant that that looks like a snowflake at the top. They look like fan-shaped leaves with rough, warty surfaces and blunt tips. It has medium-sized rosettes without stems, which are slow to grow.

    Haworthia is very easy to grow, and it doesn’t need much work. However, it takes a long time to grow, and it may be a couple of years before it has a head that looks good.

    Sand-gritty soil is ideal for this plant, and it must be well-drained because it can quickly succumb to root decay. It’s essential to water the plants often during the dry season.

    You should keep the plant out of direct sunlight during the summer.
