Pig's ear (also known as the succulent pig's ear) is a succulent plant that grows in thick, oval-shaped leaves with red edges. Desert cacti have transferred photosynthesis from the leaves to its stem to help reduce moisture loss that would naturally happen through the stomata. Even though it can tolerate low light, little watering and a lot of light, it still needs to be exposed to light when it dries out.

This is a list I've compiled of succulent plants that are simple to care for and nearly impossible to kill. When plants have insufficient light and grow leggy, that can't be undone. Sedums, which are low-maintenance and easy-going plants, do well outside in full sunlight. This cactus is drought tolerant and loves full sun. Kalanchoes prefer to receive natural sunlight that is relatively bright; however, they will usually not do well in full sunlight.
