"Don't stop be-leafing in yourself"

 Aloe Vera was my first succulent plant.   Back then, I knew nothing about succulents. I took the plant home and repotted it, put it in outside in full sun and overwatered it.  In spite of all my shortcomings, it thrived.  

 They have thick, fleshy, green to bluish-grey-green leaves.  Some varieties have whites flecks on the stem surfaces.  They spread by producing clusters of offshoots. The dwarf species are very suitable as indoor plants in pots. These plants are great beginner or starter plant because they are easy to care for and are low maintenance plants. 

Zebra plant (also known as Haworthia fasciata) look exceptionally beautiful in unusual containers making them perfect for any indoor spaces!.  

They are delicately small spiky succulent, growing about to 5 - 8 inches tall. They have thick, dark green leaves with bumps of white tubercles on the outer surface, and are clustered together giving it a “Zebra” effect.

Plus, Zebra plants don’t need much effort when it comes to watering, as then can still survive even without one for many weeks. 

  The Jade plant is commonly believed to bring good luck, financial success, and friendship in households where it grows. 

The Jade Plant is of the most popular succulents. Its beauty comes from the thick, oval shaped, broad green leaves and woody stems. A slow grower of about 2 inches per year they can reach 3 to 6 feet tall. 

Note: If you have pets you need to careful about where you place your jade plant in your home. All parts of the plant are toxic to cats and dogs.

  Echeveria is another popular succulent that does well indoors with direct light.  They are often used in succulent gardens, floral arrangements, terrariums, and even wedding cakes. Their stunning rosette shape and plump leaves,  give them a striking resemblance to flowers. 

 Echeveria doesn't need much water, therefore only water when the soil dries completely. It will do well in a clay pot with good drainage  

 Mammillaria hahniana, also known by ‘Old Lady Cactus’, is a popular powder puff type cactus that is sun-loving and easy to grow either indoors our outdoors.  The plant is particularly attractive with its lone spherical stems and flowers of reddish-purple in hues of red-purple. It can grow up to approximately 4 in. tall and 8in. wide. 

Their looks, ease in care and flowering habits, make these one of the most popular and  around. 

  Commonly called the bunny ear cactus, (Opuntia microdasys) is a popular plant that is attractive and low-maintenance. 

It usual grows new segments in pairs looking like bunny ears.  Plus, it has pretty flowers which start growing buds in early spring, and then flowering in early summer.  

 Each white “dot” on the surface of the bunny ear cactus are patches of hundreds of small spines that can easily dislodge in the skin.
