Succulents have always been one of the favorite plants of flower lovers, and there are a variety of succulent species with different characteristics.


The characteristic of succulents is that they are very easy to raise and do not require a lot of effort to take care of.


Succulents are plants with fertile, water- and nutrient-rich organs such as leaves, stems, and roots.


Characteristics of succulents include:


1. Fleshy leaves: Succulents usually have small, plump, rounded, or flat leaves that store a lot of water and nutrients.


2. Water requirements: Succulents generally come from arid regions and therefore have a low water requirement. Too much water can cause their roots to rot or even die.


When caring for succulents, pay attention to moderate watering and avoid waterlogging.


3. Strong drought tolerance: Because the leaves of succulents store a lot of water and nutrients, they have strong drought tolerance and can grow in a dry environment.


4. Easy to propagate: Succulents are easy to propagate, and can generally be propagated by dividing plants, cuttings, and leaf plugs.


5. Colorful: Succulents are colorful, and some species even show different colors in different seasons and lighting conditions.


6. Slow growth: Succulents grow slowly and require patience, but they also become very ornamental plants.


In short, succulents are unique in that their fertile leaves store a lot of water and nutrients, making them very drought-tolerant. At the same time, succulents are colorful, slow-growing, and easy to propagate, making them very popular ornamental plants.


The succulent family is very large, with more than 10,000 known species of succulents worldwide, belonging to more than 100 families in terms of classification.


They all belong to higher plants and have a strong ability to adapt and reproduce.


Succulents can be divided into three types: spring and autumn types, which prefer a stable and warm climate; summer types, which prefer high temperatures; and winter types, which prefer cold climates.


Either type grows and develops in its preferred climate, and is dormant at other times when it stops growing and developing.


When they enter a dormant state, they no longer absorb water from the roots. If the soil is kept moist, the roots will be injured and even cause the plant to wilt, so don't water the succulent during the dormant period.


Most succulents are small and delicate, and do not take up much space, so they can be placed on the office desktop to beautify the environment and relax.


It is worth mentioning that succulents have a strong adsorption power to air dust, which is good for human health.
