10 EXOTIC SUCCULENTS THAT MAKE GREAT HOUSEPLANTS

10 EXOTIC SUCCULENTS THAT MAKE GREAT HOUSEPLANTS

If you are looking for some attractive easy to care for plants to decorate your home these ten succulents may be just what you want. These are tough plants that will even put up with a degree of neglect so you could go away for a few days without having to arrange a plant sitter. I found this list of ten beautiful succulents on the Garden Lovers Club website.

There?s nothing better than waking up in the morning and enjoying a warm cup of coffee while watching the sun rise over the treetops. Adding a small plant in a clay pot to the windowsill makes this experience all the more beautiful and serene.
More often than not, a little goes a long way. Which is why we think that succulents are always a great addition to any windowsill or countertop. They always have unique and interesting shapes, and have a simple beauty that large plants and flowers sometimes lack.
Interestingly,?all cacti are succulents, but not all succulents are cacti. Cacti are always beautiful to look at, and they are also a great addition to any countertop or windowsill, as long as they are kept out of reach of any little hands or dog noses.
Both cacti and succulents are incredibly easy to take care of, requiring only misting every few days, or even less watering.
Take a look at these beautiful and exotic plants, and get a better idea of what your options are for your own succulent selection!

1. Aloe Vera

Having one of these around is not only a great aesthetic, but a useful healing tool.

2. Burro?s Tail

Burro?s Tail is a very delicate plant that requires a fair amount of maintenance. While some have experienced little issue with moving it around, others have reported that it is best to keep the plant?in indirect sunlight and avoid?relocating it if you can help it. Although it may be a bit more high maintenance than other succulents, the beauty and uniqueness of this variety?is truly awesome.

3. Christmas Cactus

The Christmas Cactus is a fairly easy plant to maintain, and if you want it to bloom into these stunning flowers, there are some simple steps to follow to nurture the plant into doing so. Basically, you want to keep the plant in indirect sunlight during the day time, and in complete darkness at night. If you do this during the fall season, you will have these beautiful flowers for your Christmas season!
