Succulent plants are those with thick, fleshy tissues adapted to store water, allowing them to survive in arid or drought-prone environments. Succulents are known for their ability to thrive with minimal water, making them popular choices for xeriscaping and low-maintenance gardens. These plants often have unique shapes and vibrant colors, with popular varieties including aloe, cactus, and echeveria. Succulents are easy to care for and require well-drained soil to prevent root rot.
