Succulents

These pages are brought to you by Collectors Corner

The term succulent is a very loosely used term and could refer to any fleshy leafed, stemmed or rooted plant. Most collectors define succulents as arid climate plants that can store water for conservation. In reality succulents can exist in all climates and all rainfall regions. Many succulent plants are found in coastal areas where the succulent tissue protects the plants from the harsh salty environments. Some cacti come from tropical rainforests with very high rainfall and many succulent plants enjoy very favourable growing climates for most of the year and only posses a succulent nature to survive the few short months when rainfall becomes very low.
