These miniature plants are absolutely a charm to grab your visitors' attention with their unique leaves, colours and shapes. But what if we said that these plants have more exotic and phenomenal varieties than you know?

Want to know some of the rare succulents that you can count on for your collection? Then, read on to learn how to add some fun, crazy succulents to your green thumb!

Lithops

Lithops, also known as living stones, are small, rock-like succulents that are native to southern Africa. These plants have a unique appearance, resembling small stones or pebbles, which makes them a popular choice for rock gardens or container gardens.

Their thick, fleshy leaves are often patterned with intricate markings that mimic the texture and colour of rocks and soil. One of the most fascinating aspects of lithops is their ability to "split" and produce two new plants. This process, known as "twinning," occurs when the plant's old outer leaves split open to reveal two new leaves growing inside. Over time, the old leaves will wither and die, leaving the two new leaves to form a new plant.

These small, adorable living rocks will make a statement in your collection, whether they're grown indoors or outdoors. With their exotic textures and patterns and availability in earthy, colourful tones, these prized succulents will add a warm, unique appearance to your overall collection!

Moonstones

With attractive chubby leaves in pastel tones, this rarity is relatively easy to care for and grow if given the right growing conditions. This is also one of our favourite choices among rare varieties of succulent plants! This plant's pastel colours, as well as its round, plump leaves that change colour depending on sun exposure, are a plus!

The ability of moonstone succulents to change colour is one of their most distinguishing characteristics. When grown in bright sunlight, the leaves will turn a bright pink or red colour. In lower light conditions, the leaves will revert to their blue-green colour. Moonstone succulents are named for their rounded, plump leaves that resemble little moons. The leaves are a pale blue-green colour with a powdery coating that gives them a soft, matte appearance. We are obsessing over this cutie, are you?
