Plant Type: Cactus & Succulents

Cacti and succulents are plants renowned for their ability to store water in their thick, fleshy leaves, stems, or roots, making them exceptionally drought-tolerant. All cacti are succulents, but not all succulents are cacti; cacti are distinguished by the presence of areoles (small, cushion-like structures from which spines, flowers, and new branches arise). These plants come in an astonishing array of shapes, sizes, textures, and colors, making them popular for rock gardens, arid landscapes, and as low-maintenance houseplants. They generally require well-draining soil and plenty of sunlight. Their unique forms and resilience make them fascinating additions to any plant collection.
