Over the last decade Succulent plants have become more popular then ever. Landscapers in California were looking for a new drought tolerant plant to use, and found that succulents worked well. This is why you see so many more then 10 or 20 years ago. Succulents have much thicker stems and leaves then other plants, which allows them to store water for long periods; This is why they are considered “drought tolerant plants”. Also their roots are different ; Instead of a network of long roots growing down to the bottom of the pot, the succulent root mass is smaller and closer to the surface. Succulents need to really dry out between watering ! And if they dry out too slowly the roots start to drown. We don’t recommend buying Arrangements, with several small plants potted together in a large pot, or anything smaller then the 6″ size. Both of these will be much harder to water accurately. It is easier if they have well developed roots and good drainage. Pictured above are the Euphorbia Firestick, 3 type of Echeverias, and a Morgan Beauty.
