7 plants you should always grow next to succulents, for thriving and stylish arrangements

A selection of succulents.

There is some skill required to make succulents look less like an office windowsill plant and more like a beautiful, tasteful, sculptural houseplant. It lies in artfully staging and curating the planting by choosing companion plants that will make the vision as a whole an aesthetic success.

Unlike other houseplants, where often much time and effort are spent trying to maximise their wellbeing and abundance, the best indoor succulents require very little care, and little watering, to thrive. When it comes to companion planting, the plants that will be happy bedfellows with succulents must require the same levels of water, light, and nutrients, as well as be aesthetically complementary.
