Review of 4 types of succulents you rarely hear about
Hello, everyone, welcome to this issue. I'm your old friend — Xiaohua, the expert in spoiling fans. Recently, due to personal preferences and some friends' suggestions, the article topics usually revolve around succulents. Like before, I have reviewed various succulents under the Crassula genus for you. Today, I will introduce another 4 types that are relatively rare in daily life and less known by people.
The first one, Mars Rabbit.
The plant is actually a succulent from the Crassula genus, with green leaves often covered with a large number of white wart-like dots. At first glance, it looks exactly like sugar-coated peanuts, with a similarity of over 80%, offering both high entertainment value and appetite appeal.
In terms of growth habits, Mars Rabbit naturally loves sunlight, and during the comfortable spring and autumn seasons, it is generally the peak growing period for the plant. From my experience, if they can be exposed to the sun more often, the edges of their leaves will gradually turn red, eventually achieving a green and red appearance, adding a unique charm. Moreover, Mars Rabbit is inherently afraid of waterlogging, and excessive or frequent watering can cause root rot.
The second one, Jizhichuan.
Also a succulent from the Crassula genus, it is a variant resulting from the cross between稚儿姿 and 神刀. In appearance, the gray-green square leaves are arranged in opposite pairs, with a slight fluffiness on the surface. Upon closer observation, you will also notice some darker green spots, and the plant is named after its side resembling a pagoda. Characteristics: slow growth rate, moderate pruning benefits clustering.
As for the propagation method that many friends are very concerned about, Jizhichuan is commonly propagated by播种, cutting, and dividing. Among them, the situation with this plant is special, as播种 requires cross-pollination, which can be carefully operated using a miniature pollination pen to achieve the goal. Although播种 is less convenient and fast than cutting for Jizhichuan, this method is not completely useless and is often more suitable for greenhouse seedlings.

The third one, Golden Moon Flower.
The plant is native to the South Africa region, initially green, but as it is exposed to sunlight, it will gradually change from the edges or tips to red, and when mature, it will shine with a golden glow, captivating the eyes.
For Golden Moon Flower, there is another magical feature, which is its significantly woody stem, often growing in a tree-like manner, with strong vitality, high reproductive ability, easy management, and easy maintenance, offering many advantages. Whether potted or planted in the ground, it will not disappoint and is highly ornamental.
The fourth one, Drifting Island.
Also known as Susan, it is a typical winter species of the Crassula genus. Its thin succulent green leaves are closely arranged, making the whole plant compact, full, and upright, looking very charming and lovable.
Generally, spring and autumn are the ideal growing times for Drifting Island, and there are usually two considerations. On the one hand, continue to follow the watering principle of "water when dry, water thoroughly when watering"; on the other hand, provide 6-8 hours of adequate sunlight every day to ensure that they can be fully stimulated and then complete the leaf color transformation.
