Succulents have been popular with plant collectors in the UK for many years, today they are increasingly popular with landscapers and as house plants, both for the easy care nature and the increasingly beautiful and fascinating forms available through hy
bridization.
Succulents have adapted to dry conditions due to their ability to store and retain water. This water retention tends to give plants a swollen appearance and this is often refered to as 'succulence' hence the name.
Combined with a waxy or prickly surface to leaves and a metabolism that is adapted to dry conditions, they are ideal as a low maintenance, low water requiring plant.
Succulents use different parts of their systen to store water:
- Stem Succulents such as Euphorbia and Cacti store water in their stems.
- Leaf Succulents such as Aloes and Sempervivums store moisture in their fleshy leaves.
- Root Succulents as the name suggests use underground storage.
Is it a cacti or a succulent, well all cacti are succulents, but not all succulents are cacti. All Cacti come from North and South America. Succulents come from all over the world.
