Cacti and succulents are currently in vogue, and according to our experts, this trend is here to stay. Indeed, cacti and succulents are interesting because they adapt to any style of decor and are relatively easy to maintain. They can be used alone in a pot, integrated into a terrarium, mounted in a plant frame, hung up... in short, cacti and succulents: we love them! Some varieties are more challenging than others and require more care. To avoid mistakes, here is our top 5 of easy cacti and succulents:
Candelabra Cactus
If you picture a cactus, the candelabra cactus will likely be the first to come to mind. It is a tall, upright cactus with spines that grow well-aligned on the trunk's protrusions. It loves intense light and can tolerate dry places and long periods without watering; in fact, let the soil dry completely between waterings.
Agave
With its very sharp pointed leaves, the agave is a very robust plant that can tolerate many things except excess water. It can even go without watering during the winter months without any problem. It grows very slowly and multiplies easily.
Jade Plant
· 
Its appearance gives it the name tree, but in reality, the jade plant is a succulent whose fleshy leaves grow on stems. It is said that this easy-care plant brings prosperity. Be careful; to support its weight, the pot must be quite heavy, and the plant is rather fragile. Therefore, handle it with care.
Haworthia
Since it rarely exceeds 15 cm in height, haworthia is ideal for original containers like an old wooden crate or a tin can. It dreads excess water, likes to be snug in its pot, and tolerates slightly less intense sunlight than some other varieties.
String of Pearls
This original plant is ideal for hanging since its stems covered with round leaves resembling pearls are trailing. Avoid overwatering, as the roots could rot. Let the soil dry out completely before watering; it is better to water it less than too much.
Always plant your cacti and succulents in soil specially designed for this type of plant and provide them with specialized fertilizer from March to September. During winter, most succulents need a break from fertilization and even watering in some cases. Consult a consultant at your favorite Passion Jardins store who can advise you on how to care for your cactus throughout the year.
