Cacti and succulents

Cacti and succulents: exotic and unique

Succulents and cacti - unpretentious but decorative indoor plants - will be a wonderful gift for loved ones or an interior decoration. They have a unique charisma and bring coziness to your home, office, store, beauty studio, etc.
Succulents are a group of plants with tissues for storing water. They belong to different biological families and genera, divided into stem and leaf. They grow in arid regions and have adapted to the lack of moisture, and therefore have become unusual.
In modified stems and fleshy leaves, cacti and succulents store water, which allows them to survive during drought. In addition, such plants can extract moisture from deep underground, from dew and fog.
Many of the succulents are grown by people for culinary, medical or cosmetic purposes. For example, low-calorie sweet syrup is made from agave, and the famous tequila is also produced. Aloe has many beneficial properties, and it is widely used in skin and hair care, the fruits of some types of prickly pear are edible and used as food.
Succulents grow in harsh conditions, their appearance is bizarre, but they are decorative and therefore popular as indoor flowers. There are more than 1,750 species of cacti in the world, among which the following are common in home conditions:

• Euphorbia;
• Crassula;
• Gasteria;
• Echinogruson;
• Pachyphytum;
• Gymnocalycium.

They are not too difficult to care for, and this is also the reason for their high popularity. You can give an unusual prickly "friend" as a gift for a birthday, New Year or Christmas, Easter or for no reason at all, just to please and make someone happy.

Cacti differ in color, shape and size, due to which they are widely used for decorative purposes. They are placed on windowsills, shelves or tables, they are placed on balconies. A popular place for a cactus at home or in the office is near the computer, since it is believed that this plant absorbs bad energy.
