10 Most Unusual Plants You’ve Never Heard Of

8. Haworthia Cooperi

Haworthia Cooperi is another unusual plant that you probably didn’t know existed. Native to South Africa, this plant is a rare stemless succulent that produces rosettes of fleshy, smooth, and round-shaped blue-green translucent-patterned leaves. These leaves look like tiny, clear watermelons or a bunch of bubbles that can grow only between 3-5 inches tall and 4 inches in diameter.

Compared to most succulent plants, this one is a little shy when it comes to light exposure. So if you want to grow it as a houseplant, you can display it near a west- or east-facing window where it can receive just the right amount of light it needs.

If the leaves have become yellow or pale, or you notice that the plant’s color has turned dull, that’s a sign your Haworthia Cooperi is getting too much sun. If this happens, move it to a different spot right away.
