Is it not amazing how succulents can make a dull place look lively and vibrant? What is even more stunning is the fact that succulents are not required to be watered daily in order for them to survive.
They have an inherent potential to store water. This makes them suitable for growing both indoors and outdoors. However, while growing succulents indoors, you have to keep in mind to place them at a spot where they get adequate sunlight (for instance, windowsill).
