How would you like someone gifting you a rose that’s not rose but equally beautiful and refreshing? Well, receiving such a plant will be thrilling, to say the very least. There are a variety of rose succulents one can choose from as per their liking.
In addition, like most succulent houseplants, these are easy to take care of, contrary to what these beautiful plants may appear as. Thoroughly drench them when the topsoil dries completely, keep them in a warm and shady place, just look out for stress signs and enjoy the beauty.
Polka Dot Begonia
The magnificent and thought-provoking spotted foliage of polka dot begonia is sure to make head turns and ask, “did you just painted those leaves”? Well, tell them you did while also painting them red and purple underneath.
The plants are reasonably manageable, blooming white or pink flower clusters during spring and early summers. Bright indirect light, moist soil, a well-draining pot, monthly fertilization, and a small beautiful spot around the house are all the plant asks for.
Lipstick Echeveria
What’s better than a houseplant that also adds a pop of color to the space, bright red like Lipstick at that? Lipstick Echeveria is an eye-catching and extraordinary evergreen succulent that forms around crisp fleshy and pointed rosettes. Its leaves are bright green with vibrant crimson margins, if not entirely red.
These plants grow up to 8-12 wide and 6 inches tall under optimal conditions of rocky, well-drained soil, sun or partial shade, moderate watering, repotting, and occasional fertilization.
Nerve Plant
The nerve plant is a rather popular spreading evergreen perennial with deep green delicately vined leaves. Though it is most commonly seen with silver-white veins, you can also find the ones with red, pink, green, and white veins as per your preference.
It is a low-growing creeper that can be quickly grown in a small pot or a bottle for those with little indoor space. Though the plant prefers temperatures around 70 degrees Fahrenheit, it does tolerate mild lows and highs. Regular misting to maintain humid conditions, bright indirect light, well moist soil are some other ways to maintain good plant health.
Staghorn Fern
Staghorn fern is yet another plant that will attract questions like “did you do it yourself,” considering its glossy green leaves look like deer antlers. Though they start growing slowly, they impressively grow large enough to 3 feet tall once they mature.
Place them in a hanging basket around the partially shaded region of your living room or garden centers, maintaining a proper and frequent watering schedule, moist potting mixture soil, reasonable humidity, and a monthly well-balanced fertilization session.
CONCLUSION
Houseplants are indeed the trickle of life many are missing in their homes, but who said each drop has to be green and similar? While the above mentioned are just seven weird and unique houseplants, there are yet so many, including the prayer plant, the string of pearls plant, the hoya hearts plant, etc., which are just as extraordinary.
Choose the one that meets your needs, house aesthetics, and let just let it grab the attention of everyone who visits, leaving them in awe of its strangeness. Happy Scrolling!
