No, that’s not a typo: I am referring to succulents that go by the name of succs around here. Such a popular plant, they grow easily, and have become a green fashion accessory for apartment dwellers and those with brown thumbs. They require minimal attention and behave like undemanding pets. Just break off a pup from an older plant and, eccolà, a new one grows, artfully filling the container’s space in no time. I am inclined to snap bits off plants if they grow near a fence. Plants are to be shared. None of my succs were purchased. Although they do grow with minimal water, mine love to be watered often. Spoil them and see what happens.
