Plant Spotlight: Succulents

Words by Tim
It may be an obvious fact to state, but here at Plant Designs we’re passionate about one topic in particular… plants! In our Plant Spotlight series we invite members of the team to tell us a little about their favourite greenery. Here we’ve got Tim, one of our horticulturists, telling us all about the humble succulent.
There are so many different shapes and styles of succulent out there, it’s a true feat of nature. While most of them don’t grow very large, they are definitely among the most unusual looking plants I’ve come across. In my time I’ve seen star shapes, varieties that look like crumpled up paper, and some that look just like smooth little pebbles. You need only hear a few of the common names to get some idea of the varieties on offer. There are ‘Mexican Snowballs’, ‘Painted Ladies’, ‘Milk Bushes’, ‘String of Beads’, and the charmingly named ‘Wart Plant’ to name just a few!
