1) Succulents come in many colours which are attributed to a combination of different pigments. Their colours can change depending on the temperature of the environment and the amount of sunlight they receive.
2) Succulents aren’t all native to the desert. Nearly half of all succulent species come from arid regions of Southern Africa, but succulents can be found in every continent except Antarctica, and they live in a variety of climates. Some succulents thrive in mountain regions, and others in tropical rainforests or coastal areas.
3) Succulents and cacti are not the same thing. The words are often used interchangeably, but cacti are actually a type of succulent. Cacti generally have no leaves, are covered in spines and have rounded indentations called areoles along their stems. All cacti are succulents because of their water-storing capacity, but there are many types of succulents that are not cacti.
4) Succulents “breathe” at night. Plant leaves take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen through tiny pores in their leaves. Usually, these pores are open in the daytime so that the plants can breathe and perform photosynthesis, and they close at night to protect the plant from the elements. With succulents, it works the opposite way; they breathe at night and close their pores during the day so they don’t lose too much water to evaporation. This is just one of the many special adaptations that allows succulents to conserve water.
