What are your thoughts on succulents? (1 Viewer)

These things:

Personally I hate them I'm sorry to the lovers of them but personally I dont want a boring plant that looks small, doesn't grow much or do anything and often looks plastic I know some succulents be interesting but I think one could replace them with a fake plant and it wouldn't matter much its doing the same job, sitting still, looking ugly and collecting dust

For a plant that's supposed to be easy to keep alive, I have terrible luck with them.

Killing a succulent is a sign .....that you should keep away from plants!

jk, maybe it needs extra care

The only plants I'm really good with are philodendrons! Which at least works out because they have some decent variety that gives the illusion I'm better with plants than I am.

I hyperfixated on houseplants for a while and found this one which i loved, its called a fan leaf plam! very theatrical and dramatic

honestly they just make me think of the poachers and the, shall we say, fluid ethics of its sudden mass hyperconsumerism

The rise of plant poaching: how a craze for succulents is driving a new illegal trade

In the wilds of South Africa’s Northern Cape, poaching ‘green diamonds’ has become an almost irresistible temptation

Cute but I don't have a green thumb so even these are not for me

I think they’re cute but wow I can’t keep one alive for the life of me

I have no interest in plants generally, much less succulents.
