Which succulents are cheap and easy to care for
This article introduces some cheap and easy-to-care-for succulents and recommends five types of succulents suitable for beginners in terms of green plant care. Let's take a look together!
Caring for succulents is a very common thing, but many people have spent countless money and energy on it due to their excessive satisfaction with their desire to buy. Looking back carefully, some may regret it. When caring for succulents, always remember one thing: control your desire to buy and don't spend too much money on them.
There are many varieties of succulents on the market that are very cheap and easy to care for. If well cared for, they can also show good growth. Cheap succulents can also be purchased, which can satisfy our desire to care for them without needing to buy expensive ones.
Here are five classic varieties on the market that are cheap and easy to care for~
1. Peach Bulb
Among all the succulents, peach bulb is one of the most classic. Three years ago, a peach bulb cost about ten yuan, and now it only takes five yuan to buy one. Although the size of peach bulb is small, its appearance is enough to catch one's eye. Planting a small peach bulb in a ceramic pot with no need for a large pot, and slowly controlling its growth, it can be well cared for after a year at home.
2. Blue Bird
The first succulent I bought when I started was a blue bird. I've been caring for the one in my home for about four years. The large mother plant has been sold, and it grows new offsets almost every year. When the offsets grow bigger, you can cut them off with a knife, let the cuttings dry, and then plant them again. They grow very fast and have a high chance of producing offsets. This variety used to be very popular. Its leaves are blue and stay blue throughout the year without changing.

3. Female Heart
The female heart succulent can become a mature plant in just one year, provided it is kept outdoors with sufficient sunlight and good ventilation. Its leaves can grow faster. Now, the female heart has gradually faded from the market, and many people no longer like this variety. However, if well cared for, it can also show a good state, just like the female heart in the photo, with its bright red leaves looking very beautiful.
4. Bear's Paw
It may be that not many people are interested in caring for bear's paws anymore, but almost everyone who has cared for succulents has also cared for bear's paws. Bear's paw is a must-have variety in the beginner's kit, as it is cheap and has strong vitality. It can also withstand rain in the summer. Planting a small bear's paw outdoors can grow significantly in a year. The leaves of a bear's paw in good condition are special, resembling bear's claws.
5. Ping Pong福娘 (Ping Pong Fukurin)
Ping Pong Fukurin is a type of succulent that can be completely cared for outdoors. You don't need to water it throughout the summer; just move it outdoors to be exposed to wind, sun, and rain. The leaves of Ping Pong Fukurin can become rounder. Normally, the leaves we buy are elliptical, which is due to insufficient sunlight. If exposed to strong sunlight, the leaves can turn black, similar to grapes, and can even become completely round.
