Succulents & Such

Ok, so we all probably know what a cactus is. But have you ever heard the word "succulent"? I figured since the workers in Lowes weren't familiar with the term, I better provide a definition before I confuse everyone, including myself, as I am NO expert!

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.
