WHAT ARE THEY?
Succulents include all plants that store water. They usually can be watered infrequently, the water
will cause the skin to swell, and will gradually contract and shrivel as the water level inside the
plant decreases over time. Succulents other than cacti are native to all continents except
Antarctica.
Cacti are succulent plants that are water-storing and are native to the New World: North America,
South America, and Central America.
GENERAL CARE
Cacti and Succulents need bright lighting conditions, but not scorching sun. They need to be
watered thoroughly when the top inch of soil is dry to the touch. Allow water to flush through
the soil.
COMMON ISSUES
When plants arent getting enough light, they tend to stretch toward the light source, which
can lead to a leggy, unattractive plant.
Not watering often enough will cause the roots to collapse and they will be unable to take up
water when present. Over-watering can cause the roots to rot, thus killing the plants. If the
base of the plant should become mushy, this indicates rot and the plant cannot be saved.

<< Grafted Moon Cactus are actually two

plants grafted together. The upper, colorful
cacti are born without chlorophyll, they are not
green like other plants but can occur in hues of
orange, yellow, pink, purple, bright ruby red or
multicolored. This portion is grafted to a green
Hylocereus species to provide the needed
chlorophyll for photosynthesis.

Jade are members of the Crassula family. Many

varieties of Jade exist, including Mini Jade with its
tight, compact leaves; 'Hobbit' and 'Gollum' or
"Fingers" Jade, with their elongated, tube-like
leaves;' Ruby' Jade with its red-edged leaves and
'Sunset' Jade, with its yellow tricolor leaves. Pink
Jade is a variety that has a sought-after rosy pink
flower that blooms in November and December. >>

<<Echeveria have succulent
leaves that grow like petals of a
rose. Colors vary from ruby-glow
black, grass-green, icy blues, frosty
violets or nearly iridescent pastels.
Drought tolerant.

Sempervivum form clusters of

geometric rosettes, some with
interlaced silken hairs with the
appearance of cobwebs. These
plants are cold and drought
tolerant. >>

<< Crested Cactus are cacti that are

rare freaks of nature that occur when the
growing tip multiplies and the stem
begins to "go crazy", forming undulating
"fan" shapes that can give the
appearance of "brains".
Monster Cactus >>
are sometimes confused with
"crested cacti" but differ in that the
stem does not form fan shapes;
rather the stem seems to "sprout"
many new growing tips, resulting in
a "bizarre" appearance.
Hairy Men Cacti >>
Botanists suppose that the modified
spines that look like hairs have grown
to create more shade for the plant,
and to create surface area for
moisture to collect. >>>

<< Euphorbia are the African

continents Old World version of
cacti. Though they resemble cacti,
Euphorbias are succulents that come
in a multitude of shapes. They have
a white, sticky, caustic sap.

<< Prickly Pear are Opuntia cacti
with paddles, sometimes known as
beaver-tail cactus and some
varieties are considered a food
source by indigenous cultures.

Aloe are native to Africa and come

in all sorts of colors and can grow
from 2 inches to 5 feet tall. The
graceful spikes of orange or
reddish tubular flowers are a
special treat for hummingbirds.
Includes Aloe vera, known for its
healing properties. >>

<<<Jungle Cactus, unlike their desert

cousins, they live as epiphytes (hang on
to something, not feed off of it like
parasites) high in the trees of steamy
jungles.
String of Hearts, Sting of
Pearls and Burros Tails are
favorite hanging succulents >>

Mimicry
So named for their ability to mimic other
items in nature like stones and pebbles,
these succulents would be found nearly
buried with the items that they are imitating
as a method of survival. >>>

<< Haworthia are named

after the British botanist
Adrian Hardy Haworth and
are natives to South Africa.
