I really need a unique succulent/cactus that's available at common stores like Lowe's and Walmart but I'm stumped so any suggestions would be amazing.

Lithops maybe?

I'm already starting a collection of some

Kalanchoe tomentosa or other related fuzzy kalanchoe plants. I’ve got a sweet little kalanchoe behartii named Bennie that I picked up from my local Ace Hardware 😊

I’d suggest string of pearls or string of bananas, they are gorgeous hanging succulents. But they are toxic to animals, so if you have pets I wouldn’t suggest it. Not sure if they sell those at Lowe’s but I saw them on Walmart’s website. Hope this helps! 😁

Kitten paws/Bear paws are really unique looking. Droopy variegated cactus . Indian corn cob variegated cactus. Are all really unique looking. Lowes here carries them. The corn cob i got barely looks like the pics it's covered in pups.

These are good suggestions. Interesting plants.

I know you're wanting in person box chains to shop at, but I highly suggest succulents depot online. I've never had an issue with them. However, at this time of year-depending on your location-I'd suggest adding a heat pack to your order.

Witch Chain I found at Walmart and had never seen it before.

My Pin Cactus's bottom portion has this strange look. It is thin and wrinkly as if it doesn't get enough water, but it does. I am afraid of overwintering it, but so far, I have followed the schedule. My cats originally got to the plant and played with it, but it doesn’t seem to have bothered them, as it has since grown the pin.

Oops here is the pic!
