Succulents

Succulents are a diverse group of plants known for their thick, fleshy leaves or stems that store water, enabling them to thrive in arid environments. Native to regions with dry climates, such as deserts, succulents have evolved to conserve moisture, making them highly drought-tolerant and easy to care for. Common varieties include Aloe, Echeveria, Sedum, and Crassula (e.g., the popular jade plant). These plants come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and colors, with some having rosette formations, while others feature trailing vines or spiky leaves. Succulents generally require bright, indirect light.

They are best watered when the soil is completely dry, as their water-storing capabilities allow them to go long periods without additional moisture. Due to their minimal care requirements and striking, sculptural appearance, succulents have become popular houseplants, adding a touch of low-maintenance beauty to homes, offices, and gardens.
