2. Lavender Scallops

Another unusual plant is lavender scallops. This succulent is a low-maintenance plant that’s perfect for both novice houseplant owners and expert gardeners. It looks fantastic, especially when planted next to other colorful indoor plants.

Since it’s a succulent hailing from Madagascar, this unusual plant absolutely thrives with little water and ample amounts of sunlight. Its upright, fleshy, green, and cream leaves have a scalloped edge that turns light pink under bright light.

One of the interesting things about lavender scallops is the way they create tiny plantlets on the edges of each leaf.
