What is Succulent Plants?

 

In botany, succulent plants, also known as succulents, are plants with parts that are thickened, fleshy, and engorged, usually to retain water in arid climates or soil conditions. The word succulent comes from the Latin word sucus, meaning "juice" or "sap".

 

Succulent plants may store water in various structures, such as leaves and stems. The water content of some succulent organs can get up to 90–95%, such as Glottiphyllum semicyllindricum and Mesembryanthemum barkleyii. Some definitions also include roots, thus geophytes that survive unfavorable periods by dying back to underground storage organs may be regarded as succulents. The habitats of these water-preserving plants are often in areas with high temperatures and low rainfall, such as deserts, but succulents may be found even in alpine ecosystems growing in rocky soil. Succulents are characterized by their ability to thrive on limited water sources, such as mist and dew, which makes them equipped to survive in an ecosystem that contains scarce water sources.

 

Succulents are not a taxonomic category, since the term describes only the attributes of a particular species; some species in a genus such as Euphorbia, or family such as Asphodelaceae may be succulent, whereas others are less so or not at all. Many plant families have multiple succulent species found within them, more than 25 plant families. In some families, such as Aizoaceae, Cactaceae, and Crassulaceae, most species are succulents. In horticultural use, the term is sometimes used in a way that excludes plants that botanists would regard as succulents, such as cacti. Succulents are often grown as ornamental plants because of their striking and unusual appearance, as well as their ability to thrive with relatively minimal care.

 

Benefits of Succulent Plants

 

Succulents are drought-resistant
Due to their unique water-holding properties, succulents have evolved as drought resistant. They thrive in dry, arid climates where most other plants would not survive. In fact, one way to kill a succulent plant is to shower it with love and over-water it.

 

Succulents are easy to care for
These low-maintenance plants require little to no attention, given the right growing environment. They do require some watering and the right potting mix to thrive. But once you figure out the basics, these plants are among the easiest plants to care for.

 

Succulents have beautiful shapes, sizes, and colors
Succulents come in many different unique shapes, colors, textures, and features. Each plant has its own unique qualities. Their exquisite beauty is featured in their amazing range of colors. As you get to know these plants, you find out that they transform in color under different lighting conditions. Some plants turn from dark green in the shade to bright red or orange in full sun. You can find just about any color range from white to dark purple or black. Their fascinating shapes are endless.

 

Succulents can grow anywhere
Most succulents require a bright surrounding but not completely full sun. A lightly shaded patio outside or a bright sunny location indoor would be enough for them to grow. They are also not picky as to what type of pot you plant them in but prefer to be in pots with drainage holes as they do not like to sit in water. A fast-draining soil is preferred. Given the right circumstances, they can survive in areas where most other plants suffer.

 

Types of Succulent Plants
Frailea
Tephrocactus Geometricus
Portulacaria Afra
Aeonium Arboreum Velour Cristata

Jade plants: Crassula ovata is beloved for its dark green, shiny leaves and the fact that it’s tough to kill.

 

Christmas cactus: Schlumbergera usually flower in the fall and winter, hence their holiday name. A well-tended Christmas cactus can live for years.

 

Kalanchoe: Kalanchoe blossfeldiana is the most common of this family of more than 125 plants. A winter bloomer, it needs about 14 hours of darkness per day to bloom.

 

Echeveria: There are more than 150 members of this family of cute, cheerful succulents, known for their rosette shapes—the babies (aka “chicks”) the main plant sends out.

 

Snake plant: Sansevieria trifasciata plants are known for their pleasing variegated foliage and their air-purifying qualities. Bonus: Snake plants are very easy to care for.

 

Aloe: Aloe vera is the best-known of this crowded family of more than 650 types of succulents. The easy-to-care-for plants do double duty as a topical treatment for sunburn, minor burns and abrasions.

 

Process of Succulent Plants

 

 Find a south-facing window to put your plant and gauge the space requirements;

 

Choose a shallow pot or bowl (drainage hole is best) that fits well in the space;

 

Plan out the number of succulent plants you will need by placing the pots of succulents in the bottom of the pot, arranged the way you would like them to be. A good rule of thumb to avoid overcrowding your plants is to be sure their leaves aren’t crowding the plants next to them. There should be enough space for airflow, so about the width of a 1 finger in between plants. Once you determine the size and

 

Place a 2-inch layer of rocks or pebbles (for drainage) in the bottom of the pot. Then fill the rest of the pot with a well-drained soil mix appropriate for succulent plants. Typically, this includes sand or peat with a high quality well-drained potting soil. Once filled with soil, the top of the soil bed of each plant should not be higher than the rim of the pot. This allows the plants to be watered and drain downward, rather than spilling over the rim of the pot;

 

Add soil to cover the top of the soil bed of the plants evenly with the other plants, and gently smooth out. This is called Top-Dressing. The original soil bed at the top of each plant should no longer be visible once the new soil is added;

 

Water until moist and you hear the water draining out the bottom. Then follow appropriate watering instructions for the season; however the best time to plant your succulent garden is during the growing season (spring or summer).

 

How to Maintain Succulent Plants
 

Make sure your succulents get enough light
Succulents love light and need about six hours of sun per day, depending on the type of succulent. Though most varieties of succulents will not survive with full shade, they also don’t need to be blasted with hot rays all day, so a sheer curtain can help ensure they get some shade too. Newly planted succulents, in particular, can scorch in direct sunlight, so you may need to gradually introduce them to full sun exposure while providing shade and low light with a sheer curtain.

 

Rotate succulents frequently
While most succulents love direct sun, if yours is sitting in the same exact spot day after day, it's likely that only one side is getting enough light. Caro and rose suggest rotating the plant often. Succulents will lean towards the sun, so rotating them will also help them stand up straight. (leaning may also be a sign that they need to be in a sunnier spot.)

 

Water according to the season
Just like humans, succulents need more energy when they’re in a period of growth. During the spring and summer, the plants are thriving and drinking up much more water than when they’re resting in the fall and winter. Caro and rose recommend testing the soil with a finger—when the top 1.25 inches are dry, grab your watering can. Over-watering can kill your succulent, so make sure you let the soil dry between waterings.

 

Choose a container with drainage
Succulents don’t like to sit in waterlogged soil, so drainage is important to prevent rot. Your container should have a drainage hole to allow excess water to escape. Terra-cotta pots are ideal for beginners, but as you grow more comfortable with plant care, you could consider upgrading to terrariums or other containers.

 

Plant succulents in the right soil
Once you’ve chosen the appropriate containers, it’s time to fill it with the right potting mix that will ensure your plants get the nutrients they need. Succulents need well-draining soil, so regular potting soil—or dirt from your yard—won’t do. Generally, soil that drains best is porous and sandy.

 

Water the soil directly
When you water your succulents, soak the soil mix until water runs out of the drainage holes. Don’t use a spray bottle to water your succulents—misting can cause brittle roots and moldy leaves. You can also place pots in a pan of water and allow the water to absorb through the drainage hole. Once the top of the soil is moist, remove from the pan.

 

Keep succulents clean
Like any part of your home, “indoor plants will gradually pick up dust on their surface, which can inhibit their growth,” According to caro and rose. Wipe off the leaves and spines gently with a damp cloth (you can use a soft paintbrush to get at hard-to-reach spots).

 

Get rid of bugs
Pests shouldn’t be a problem for indoor succulents, but occasionally you may have to deal with bugs. Gnats are attracted to succulents that are planted in soil that is too wet and doesn’t have proper drainage. To ensure you don’t experience a full-on infestation, get rid of eggs and larvae by spraying the soil with 70 percent isopropyl alcohol.

Mealybugs are another pest succulent owners have to deal with. Overwatering and overfertilizing are the common causes of mealybugs. In this case, move infected plants away from other succulents and spray with 70 percent isopropyl alcohol.

 

Fertilize succulents in the summer
Succulents don’t need much fertilizer, but you can give them light feedings during the spring and summer growing season. Be careful not to overfertilize—this can cause your succulent to grow too quickly and become weak. As a general rule of thumb, check the recommended amount on your fertilizer’s packaging, and use half that amount for succulents.

 

What's the Difference Between Cactus and Succulent?

 

Physical features
A cactus has various physical features that make it different from a succulent. Cacti are identified by their needle-like spines. They have fleshy stems that store water and are capable of performing photosynthesis. A succulent plant, on the other hand, holds water and nutrients in its fleshy leaves. Most cactus plants do not have leaves, but some of them do. Additionally, cacti form small white bumps on their surface called areoles. Succulents don’t have areoles. This is the main characteristic that makes the two different from each other. A plant without areoles is a succulent. 

 

Flowering
Both succulents and cacti bloom. However, the flowers of cactus plants are brighter, larger in size, and have complex structures as compared to the flowers of succulents. Cactus blooms are pollinated by bees, butterflies, and bats. The flowers of succulents are simple and small in size, usually pollinated by bees.

 

Fruit production
Although both succulents and cacti flowers, only cactus plants can grow fruits. The most commonly known cactus fruits are dragon fruit and prickly pear fruit. 

 

Propagation
Propagation is the process in which an element of the parent plant is used to grow baby plants. This easy method helps in expanding plant collections without the need to buy new ones. Cacti are propagated by seeds and offsets. Succulents are most often propagated from stem and leaf cuttings. 

 

First impression
The look of cacti is determined by their waxy stems. On the contrary, the look of succulents can be identified by the arrangement and shape of their leaves. In terms of appearance, succulents come in a wide variety of forms, including rosettes, trailing vines, and compact clusters. Cacti, on the other hand, often have a more distinct and recognizable shape, with columnar, globular, or cylindrical stems.

FAQ

Q: How often do succulents need to be watered?

A: Indoor succulents need to be watered about once per week, but the soil should dry out between waterings. Outdoor succulents, depending on the climate, might not need to be watered at all. A succulent probably needs to be watered if it becomes wrinkly or shriveled. A succulent that's been watered too much becomes soft and mushy.

Q: What soil should you plant succulents in?

A: Succulents like sandy soil. Coarse sand is better than fine sand for potting succulents in because it allows for more drainage. If planting outdoors, aim for 50% to 80% coarse sand or gravel.

Q: Which succulent is easiest to care for?

A: All succulents are fairly easy to care for because they're adapted to surviving long stretches without water. That said, the easiest of the easy might be the jade plant, aloe vera, and hens and chicks.

Q: Do succulents make good houseplants?

A: Succulents make great houseplants. They're extremely easy to care for, resilient, and they thrive in mild, dry temperatures. Succulents are a common starting point for indoor gardening.

Q: Do succulents attract pests?

A: The juicy leaves of succulents are filled with water, and bugs often seek them out for hydration. That said, pests are put off by succulents' tough skin and waxy coating, hence why this plant category is largely considered pest-resistant.

Q: How often should I water my succulent plants?

A: Succulent plants should be watered when the soil is completely dry. This may happen once a week or every few weeks, depending on the plant and the growing conditions.

Q: Can succulent plants grow indoors?

A: Yes, succulent plants can grow indoors as long as they receive enough bright, indirect light. Certain plants, such as the Snake Plant, can withstand low-light conditions.

Q: Do succulent plants need fertiliser?

A: Succulent plants do not require frequent fertilisation. However, use a fertiliser specifically formulated for cacti and succulent plants during the growing season.

Q: What is the best soil for succulent plants?

A: The best soil for succulent plants is a well-draining potting mix that allows excess water to drain. You can create your mix by mixing potting soil with sand, perlite or pumice.

Q: How do I propagate succulent plants?

A: Succulent plants can be propagated from stem or leaf cuttings. To propagate from stem cuttings, cut a stem from the mother plant and allow it to dry out for a few days. Plant the stem in well-draining soil. Water sparingly until new roots appear.

Q: Can succulent plants survive in cold weather?

A: Most succulent plants cannot survive freezing temperatures. However, some plants, such as the Sempervivum, are cold-hardy and can tolerate cold temperatures.

Q: Why are my succulent plants turning brown and mushy?

A: Brown and mushy leaves on succulent plants are a sign of overwatering. If root rot has already set in, you may need to remove the affected parts of the plant and repot them in fresh soil.

Q: What is the purpose of a succulent plant?

A: Succulents and household plants improve indoor air through a chemical process called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a chemical process that takes in carbon dioxide and releases oxygen into the air.

Q: What is meant by succulent plants?

A: By definition, succulent plants are drought-resistant plants in which the leaves, stem, or roots have become more than usually fleshy by the development of water-storing tissue. Other sources exclude roots as in the definition "a plant with thick, fleshy and swollen stems and/or leaves, adapted to dry environments".

Q: Is succulent plants good for home?

A: Along with gathering energy from the sun, succulents store water, allowing them to continue to survive and even thrive over dry stretches. This characteristic of succulents is why, within feng shui, they are viewed as plants that attract and encourage abundance in our homes and any other space where they grow.

Q: Do succulents clean the air indoors?

A: Succulents are not only charming additions to indoor spaces but also powerful allies in improving indoor air quality. Supported by scientific evidence, specific succulent species like Aloe vera and Snake Plant have been proven to effectively remove airborne toxins, promoting healthier and fresher air indoors.

Q: Does succulent need sunlight?

A: Most succulents do best in bright direct light and need at least 6 hours of natural light per day. But if you only have a shady corner in your home, choose plants like mother-in-law tongue that do well in low light and place them near a south or east-facing window.

Q: Where is the best place to put succulents in the house?

A: Most succulents prefer at least 6 hours of sun per day, so try to place them near a south- or east-facing window. You may notice your succulents becoming spindly or stretching toward the light if they don't get enough sun. Allow the potting mix to dry out between waterings.

Q: Can succulents be kept in AC room?

A: Ideal plants for air-conditioned environments include cacti and succulents. These plants have the ability to store water in their leaves and stems, allowing them to survive in dry conditions. Other options include the spider plant, dracaena, and snake plant, all known for their resistance to dry air.

Q: How big do succulents get?

A: Some succulents grow faster than others, meaning that you will see pretty significant growth over a several-month period. Jade plants and aloe vera are both in this category of succulents. In the wild, some succulent varieties can grow up to 40 feet or more, but that likely wouldn't make for the best house plant.
