Now, let's answer the question everyone is probably asking-are succulent plants herbaceous. If you love succulents, you probably know better. If your plant is still in a clay pot you may want to transfer it to a ceramic/plastic pot. These pots will hold more water. You can expect a variety of pests to attack your succulents. It's possible to transplant your succulents without worrying about spreading disease or pests. There is one drawback to this: you won't see your cutting until new leaf growth appears.
