Succulent plants have thickened stems, or leaves, such as this Aloe. In botany, succulent plants, also known as succulents, are plants with parts that are thickened, fleshy, and engorged, usually to retain water in arid climates or soil conditions. The word succulent comes from the Latin word sucus, meaning "juice" or "sap". [1]
Echeveria plants are evergreen.Flowers on short stalks (cymes) arise from compact rosettes of succulent fleshy, often brightly coloured leaves. [2] Species are polycarpic, meaning that they may flower and set seed many times over the course of their lifetimes.
The plants grow close to the ground with leaves formed around each other in a rosette, and propagating by offsets. The "hen" is the main, or mother, plant, and the "chicks" are a flock of offspring, [ 1 ] which start as tiny buds on the main plant and soon sprout their own roots, taking up residence close to the mother plant.
Sempervivum (/ s ɛ m p ə ˈ v aɪ v əm / [1] [2]) is a genus of about 40 species of flowering plants in the family Crassulaceae, commonly known as houseleeks.Other common names include liveforever (the source of the taxonomical designation Sempervivum, literally "always/forever alive") and hen and chicks, a name shared with plants of other genera as well.
Stapeliad flowers range in size from mere millimetres in species of Echidnopsis and Pseudolithos to those of Stapelia gigantea that can reach 40 cm/16" in diameter, and are some the largest of flowers to be found on any species of succulent. Flowers are actinomorphic (radially symmetrical) with 5 free or fused sepals and petals.
In 1984, the International Organization for Succulent Plant Study set up a working party, now called the International Cactaceae Systematics Group, to produce a consensus classification of the cactus family, down to the level of genus. Their classification has been used as the basis for systems published since the mid-1990s.
Crassula is a genus of succulent plants containing about 200 accepted species, [1] including the popular jade plant (Crassula ovata).They are members of the stonecrop family (Crassulaceae) and are native to many parts of the globe, but cultivated varieties originate almost exclusively from species from the Eastern Cape of South Africa.
Stapelia is a genus of low-growing, spineless, stem succulent plants, predominantly from South Africa with a few from other parts of Africa. Several Asian and Latin American species were formerly included but they have all now been transferred to other genera.
