According to trusty wikipedia, a succulent means "fat plant" or a plant with thickened leaves and that can easily retain water. So, with that said, they are very similar to the concept of cacti. However, cacti ARE succulents, but not all succulents are cacti. Riddle yourself that.......
But outside of all these boring botany definitions are these beautiful and fun house plants. Before I knew how adorable they were, what drew me to them you ask? They are SUCH low maintenance. They claim to be drought resistant, purify the air, and of course add beauty and nature to a room. Living in an apartment with minimal sunlight makes it hard to keep a plethora of greens growing. So with a little research, I think I have finally found the perfect plant for indoors! :)I found these at Lowes.
How exotic are these flowering cacti?
Beautiful leafy succulents
More mini assorted succulents
The details of this cactus top is unbelievable,
not to mention the gorgeous color.
These are the two new "pets" I ended up bringing home!
Do any of you have indoor plants you haven't had trouble growing? If so, let me know!
