The succulent plant has been a popular variety for quite a while now and this doesn’t seem to be changing. Succulent plants come in a wide array of shapes, sizes and colours and are quite a low maintenance species of plant, making them attractive to many. Succulents are a collection of plants that use their thick and fleshy leaves to store water, which means they are able to generally thrive in hot and dry climates. The word succulent originates from the Latin word ‘Sucus’, which means sap or juice.
