Let’s face it. Succulents are just plain cool. They look like alien flora from another galaxy. They’ll grow just about anywhere (some even grow without soil), and since they can survive missing a few waterings even the most absent-minded gardener can grow succulents.

I’m still not convinced that succulents are intelligent life from space sent to take over the earth. They have a strong foothold in the greenhouses where we earthlings are duped into providing them the perfect environment with food and water for propagation.
Maybe I’ve been watching too much V.
Thanks for the Thrift Store Succulent shout out! Happy to hear you’re adding succulents to your production list :) I think they just might be the perfect plant. I like their resemblance to aliens too.
