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 the photosynthesis from its leaves to its stem in order to reduce the moisture loss that would normally occur through the stomata. It can tolerate low lighting and little watering, but it still needs bright light and moisture when soil dries. It's time to repot your plants if you notice that they are looking duller than normal or have rot root issues.

It displays the best of foliage, texture, form and color, just like any succulent container garden. One example of this is the Christmas Cactus. This ensures good airflow and less humidity in the terrarium environment. This plant can reach 1.5 feet in height. It doesn't need much water and it thrives in indoor conditions.
