4. Crassula Umbella

Also known as the “wine cup”, the Crassula Umbella boasts a distinct shape that defines these plants. It’s a member of the succulent family, originating from South Africa. Thus, these unusual plants thrive in dry and hot environments.

They have a rimmed leaf that grows around their stem, making the plant look like a cup, hence the name “wine cup.” They grow around 6 inches in length and about the same in diameter.

And guess what? Caring for your Crassula Umbella comes easily. As a succulent, you won’t have to water it too often. In fact, you’ll have to be careful not to overwater it, as it will kill it.
