When it comes to succulents [1], perhaps the most romantic of all is greenovia dodrentalis [2], which could easily be mistaken for roses. Originating from the Canary Islands [3], these rare plants are sometimes called mountain roses. While these floral succulents commonly come in hues of green and blue, you'll occasionally spot one in pink, and they're absolutely beautiful!
They are relatively easy to care for [4] and can grow up to six inches tall indoors or outdoors, which means they make for the perfect desk plant [5]. Because the pink ones are rare, you can order them online or buy seeds to grow them, though they may take two years to appear rose-like [6]. Keep reading to shop them now, and get ready for your desk to be in full bloom!
