But it’s hard to keep from changing my mind so I’m sure I’ll end up promoting others to the top of the list in a few months.Īnyway, to keep things as easy-to-brows as possible, I’ve split up the purple succulents by type. I love so many of these purple plants to be honest, though my favourites, if I had to choose, may just be Aeonium Zwartkop and Echeveria Purple Pearl. That being said, these aren’t ideal ways to keep the colour, so if it’s possible for you to find a sunnier location for your plant, that’s a much better solution. Purple will also come out if the plant is stressed in other ways – like if it’s roots are cut off, or it isn’t watered enough. They definitely aren’t these beautiful purples unless they’re stressed, so if you have a feeling you’ve got one of these but it isn’t in the beautiful purple shade you wanted, leave it out in the sun for a few days (keeping an eye to make sure the sun isn’t too strong to burn it!), and if the colour’s changed to a purple, you know you’ve got the right plant, but that it’s not in the perfect spot to keep the colour coming. Some are more of a lilac shade, others are really deep, more like an eggplant shade. I can’t help feel they’d be ever so stunning combined together into one drop dead gorgeous pot, but haven’t gotten my hands on all of them quite yet, though I honestly want to try grabbing as many as possible. There’s a tonne of variation in terms of colour, texture, and size when it comes to the number of purple succulents out there.
I love the way these two colours pair together, and there’s nothing better than seeing variations of them – different shades of green and different shades of purple – in a succulent arrangement. Now, out of all the colours of the rainbow, my top two are probably green then purple. And then there’s those colours when they’re stressed… by god do these make succulents stunning in my eyes.
They’re ridiculously easy to propagate if you’re willing to give them enough time. They’ve got those gorgeous, thick and (obviously) “succulent” leaves that to me just scream beauty. Still, in the relatively short amount of time been into them, I’ve managed to find quite a lot to love about these plants.Ī few things, for instance? They’re drought tolerant, meaning I can leave them be when I’m on vacation without having to ask my cat sitter to spend time watering a plethora of plant pots. Needless to say, I’m way behind the massive trend that’s popped up around succulents & cacti. I’ve been into succulents for a relatively short period of time probably only around a year.
