Succulents Overview

Common Name: Succulents (various species)
Family: Varies (common families include Crassulaceae, Cactaceae, and Aizoaceae)
Appearance: Thick, fleshy leaves or stems adapted to store water. Shapes, sizes, and colors vary widely, ranging from rosettes to trailing vines. Flowers vary by species but are often small and vibrant.

Care:

• Light: Bright, indirect sunlight; some species tolerate direct sunlight for part of the day.
• Watering: Low; water only when the soil is completely dry. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
• Soil: Well-draining cactus or succulent mix, often with sand or perlite added.
• Growth Cycle: Many are dormant in winter and grow actively in spring and summer, but cycles vary depending on the species.
• Propagation: Typically propagated through offsets, leaf cuttings, or stem cuttings. Some species can also be grown from seeds.
