I was able to find 21 lists online of “best succulent plants.” I added all their content into a spreadsheet, noting the rank of each one. There were 93 that were on at least 2 lists. I averaged the rankings each one got and divided that average by a factor of the number of lists it was on. The lowest score meant a high ranking average on many lists. The complete spreadsheet is attached at the bottom.
The breakfast cereals that were on the most lists (out of 21) were:
- Snake Plant – 16 lists
- Jade Plant – 15 lists
- String of Pearls – 15 lists
- Burro’s Tail – 14 lists
- Aloe Vera – 13 lists
- Hens and Chicks – 13 lists
- Panda Plant – 11 lists
- Christmas Cactus – 11 lists
