SUCCULENTS are the perfect purchase for those who want to decorate their home with plants, as they are low maintenance.
The indoor house plants are ideal for people who have busy schedules, want to add a pop of colour into their home and purify the air in their home.
Succulents can be propped up in flats as well as houses, because there are smaller versions that do not take up much room.
There are a variety of succulents available, from aloe vera and common cactus plants, to ones suitable for hanging, as well as plants that bloom and produce a delicate flower.
But not all succulents have the same requirements, as some grow better in natural light, while others thrive in cooler environments, perhaps best left in a shaded corner of a room.
Succulents are a great way for you to be creative, as you can choose different pots to put them in to suit the decor, buy individual plants to dot around the home or a ready made selection in a pot - the options are endless.

2. Best trailing succulent
Succulents come in all shapes and sizes, and while some are suited on the window sill, the mantelpiece, or even in a corner of a room if they are larger, trailing succulents can be hung so their vines drape down.
String of Pearls plants are ideal to add a bit more colour and life to a room as they are voluminous, whether they are hanging or perched on a high ledge to show off their bead-like stems.

3. Best succulents in pots
There is nothing worse than buying a plant, but not having a pot to store it in, which is why this Ikea set is the ultimate life saviour.

The money plant - or also known as jade plant - is best kept in a sunny location for optimum growth.

6. Best succulent for beginners
There is nothing better for the home than an aloe vera home, to make you feel like you have jumped on a plane to an exotic place.
Aloe vera is super manageable and the perfect purchase for people who are starting to introduce succulents into their home, as it doesn't need to be pruned, can be placed in sunlight and can be watered every three weeks - but sparingly.
Plus it has the added benefit of having healing properties, simply slice upon a lower leaf if you have a cut or sunburn to nurse the wound.
