“Succulent” is a word used to describe any type of plant with thick, squishy leaves. These plump leaves are filled with water, giving these plants the ability to thrive in areas with dry soil and little to no rainfall. Low water requirements and their adorable appearance make succulent plants great candidates for beginning plant parents and advanced plant lovers alike. While each type of succulent, from Sedum to Senecio, has its own watering and light requirements to take note of, they are all incredibly rewarding and easy to care for plants.
