The best succulent plants

 The best succulent plants to grow in your home or garden

Whether you are already a dedicated plant parent or just starting your green collection, there is nothing better than having a beautiful succulent in your home office or on the window sill. Succulents are widely liked not only for their toughness but also for their incredible variety - and if you’ve been on Instagram recently, you know. Take a look at our favorites.

The Sill Succulent Assortment

Not sure where to start, but excited to go? We love this little starter collection that sucks from the chip. Get different varieties in three, six, or twelve small growers.

Ponytail Palm

It may look like a palm tree, but the ponytail palm is actually succulent. Among its distinctive features are the bud-like stem and hair-like leaves - hence the name.

Other name: Beaucarnea Recurvat

Genus: Beaucarnea

Family: Asparagaceae

Snake plant

This succulent plant is commonly called the "snake plant" or "mother-in-law tongue" due to the shape and sharpness of the leaves, respectively (be sure to send it to your husband's mother!). But do not be afraid: Sansevieria triphosphate is also called a "bedroom plant" because it can increase oxygen and filter the air, which can lead to more restful sleep.

Other names: Sansevieria Trifasciata, Mother-in-Law's Tongue, Viper's Bowstring Hemp

Genus: Sansevieria

Family: Asparagaceae

Woolley Senecio

Covered with thin white hairs, Senecio haworthii looks like "wool" - but you can not guess that it produces beautiful yellow flowers.

Other Names: Senecio Haworthii, Cocoon Plant

Race: Senecio

Family: Asteraceae (Daisy)

Aloe Vera

This succulent is very popular for its medicinal uses and is found in all types of topical ointments. You may have got a friend or relative who would put someone to break the leaves and apply the gel on sunburned or irritated skin when needed.

Another name: Medicinal Cactus

Race: Cactus

Family: Aspergillus

Pincushion cactus

There are hundreds of varieties of Mammillaria, gland, or pincushion cactus. Succulent, naturally, resembles a pinch, but our favorite detail should be small, daisy-like flowers.

Type: Mammillaria Grahamii

Race: Mammillaria (Pinkushan cactus)

Family: Cactus (Cactus)

White Velvet

A member of the Spiderwort family, this interesting plant is covered with silvery-white hairs that resemble "cobweb" or white velvet.

Other names: Tradescantia Sillamontana, Cobweb Spiderwort, "Pussy Ears"

Genus: Tradescantia

Family: Commelinaceae

Hoya heart

Can you believe there is such a succulent plant with such whole heart-shaped leaves? This attribute makes Hoya an appropriate Valentine's Day or anniversary gift.

Other Names: Hoya Kerry, Lucky-Heart, Valentine's Plant

Race: Hoya

Family: Apocynaceae (Dogbane)

Burro’s Tail

This should be our favorite name for carnivores. The strange backward stalks (like a donkey's tail) form a natural complement to layered arrangements like hanging baskets.

Other names: Sedum Morganianum, Donkey's Tail

Genus: Sedum

Family: Crassulaceae (Stonecrop)

The Black Prince

Echeveria succulents are the most recognizable of any species due to their rosette leaf shapes. You guessed it in the Black Prince genus - dark, almost black leaves.

Race: Echeveria

Family: Crassulaceae (Stonecrop)
