I've
been showing you all kinds of succulents lately, to get you in the mood
for spring and inspire you to get out and garden, but those lists were
missing the adorable succulent driving Japanese gardeners wild.
They're called Monilaria obconica,
more commonly referred to as bunny succulents because of their ear-like
growths, and they're quite possibly the most kawaii plants on Earth.
Native
to South Africa, Monilaria obconica use the small, glittering pearls on
their leaves to store water, so they're fairly drought resistant, and
the leaf pair "ears" act "as a protective sheath to the stem apex".
But enough of the scientific talk, wanna know the best thing about these bunny succulents?
They're
easy to grow from cuttings, as long as the cutting contains "one or
more branches along with a fraction of root". So keep your eyes peeled
for the cutest succulent on the planet!
