Twenty-five percent of southern African flora can be described as succulent, and forty percent of the world’s succulent plants are found in South Africa. Neil Crouch works as an ethnobotanist at the South African National Biodiversity Institute. Most of these succulents can only be found in North America and South America.

When comparing succulent anatomy and cactus anatomy, there might be some confusion. It's hundreds of years late. These spines can be irreplaceable. Most branches will have lost their spines over the years, after they reach maturity. Crown of Thorns plants are slow growers and only require repotting once every 2-3 years. Once you have an established plant, this can be reduced to once a week during summer, and only every 2-3 weeks in winter. Later, I learned that the Mother of Millions (also known as Devil's Backbone) was actually the Mother of Millions Plant (Kalanchoe Delagoensis).

Crassula Arborescens Undulatifolia needs the same watering requirements as other succulents. Crassula forestifolia "Ripple Jade", can be propagated either from leaves or offsets. "Ripple Jade," if given enough light, can grow indoors. When it doesn't receive enough sunlight, the plant will not produce flowers. It's not even growing. In its native jungle growing habitats of South America, Rhipsalis ewaldiana received filtered light through tree branches. Rhipsalis. ewaldiana "Mistletoe Cactus", has the typical needs of a succulent. Seasons affect watering as well.
