In recent years, succulents have gained enormous popularity for a good cause. At Succulents Club, we love succulents and work to ensure that each succulent is well cared for. Many types of succulents range in size, shape, and color. Succulent plants continuously create oxygen, enhancing the air quality and preventing carbon dioxide from being released at night. The variety of succulent plant types offers countless color possibilities, low-maintenance options, and the capacity to hold water for an extended period. This article will highlight different types of Succulents that are popular to cultivate at home. 

Here are seven succulent plants types that you may grow at home:

African Milk Tree Succulents Type #1:

These types of succulents are less common yet make great options to add to any succulent garden or to make an impact in any home. Euphorbia trigona, also known as the African milk tree succulent, is a long-living succulent plant with a robust growth habit that can reach heights of 6 to 8 feet. Indoors, however, it can only reach heights of 3 feet. Central Africa is where it originated. This succulent produced triangular, erect, short, sharp thorns branched into a green stem and small, reddish-tinged leaves. To keep this type of succulent happy requires lots of light and well-drained soil. 

Burro Donkey's Tail Succulent Type #2:

We move to our second type of succulent that are great options for your home or outdoor garden. We introduce the Donkey's tail succulent, also known as burro's tail or Sedum morganianum. Due to their long stems, the Donkey tail succulents grow best when planted in a hanging basket. The hanging stems of the Donkey's tail succulent are covered in hefty grey or even bluish-green leaves, and they may appear slightly chalky. Burro's tail succulent can grow up to 4 feet long. The Donkey's tail will sometimes produce tiny red, pink, or lavender flowers throughout the spring and summer. It is indigenous to Mexico and performs best in bright light.

Zebra Cactus Succulent Type #3:

The zebra cactus (Haworthia fasciata), which resembles aloe vera plants, has white stripes that wrap around each of its pointed leaves. The charm of this tiny succulent plant is that it has a distinctive appearance, occupies little room, and needs minimal maintenance. A Zebra succulent plant is an African native that grows on the ground and has tidy leaves with striking horizontal white stripes. Zebra succulent plants have eye-catching stripes and shiny leaves that might give them the appearance of being unusual and exotic plants. These types of succulents are relatively simple to grow both indoors and outdoors. Zebra succulent plants only reach a height of 5 to 6 inches. Because of their shallow roots, these succulent plants can be used in groups with other succulents in small decorative containers. Despite being small, these plants can survive lower light levels than most types of succulents. Do not place these succulents in the window for direct sun exposure; they need soft, indirect light. You might be surprised by this type of succulent plant because its stems grow several inches and have beautiful flowers at their terminals.

Jade Plant Succulent Type #4:

In our review of various types of succulents, we move next to a succulent known for bringing wealth and prosperity to its owners. This type of succulent is Native to South Africa. It has been labeled a money tree succulent. When you look at the Jade plant (Crassula ovata), you can see its sturdy stems or trunks and dark, glossy green leaves. The margins of the leaves might be crimson. These beautiful succulent plants bloom with star-shaped flowers, ranging in hue from white to pale pink. The Jade Plant can reach heights and widths of one to two feet. This succulent's stem thickened, making it easier to shape into a bonsai arrangement. Due to the thick stems, these mature succulent plants grow heavily and need more rich soil. Avoid wetting the lustrous leaves with water since water contains minerals that might leave unsightly marks on them. Be careful; excessive watering can damage Jade succulent plants.

String of Pearls Succulent Type #5:

One of the more popular succulent types is Curio rowleyanus, also known as Senecio Rowleyanus, most commonly called the string of pearls succulents. This succulent plant resembles a beaded necklace because of its tiny round and oval pea-shaped leaves and succulent dark green. This succulent spreads freely and grows quickly.
