Not all of us have a natural green thumb, and that's OK. Succulents, for many of us, are the answer: low-maintenance and visually pleasing, these small houseplants provide greenery without extensive care requirements, and Martha Stewart concurs that they are winners.
'If you like growing plants, but don’t really have the time to care for them properly, I encourage you to consider growing succulents,' Martha says. Caring for succulents is easy. In fact, you could go as far as saying they thrive on neglect –making them the perfect option for those who spend long periods away from home. 'Succulents are so easy to maintain and are able to survive prolonged drought because they store moisture in their fleshy stems, roots, and leaves,' Martha explains on her blog.
