Succulent Plants MiscellaneousSearch Drought Smart Plants here: Can you stop at just one more gorgeous succulent plant from many different genera? They're like chocolates - you can't have just one! The varied forms and colours of succulent plants are endless and fascinating.Most succulent plants require well drained soil, bright light and occasional deep watering. I use tempered water for all tender succulent plants, as cold water from a tap can shock the roots. Rainwater is the best, as it has no chemicals or calcium which can mar the foliage. Fertilize infrequently, and not at all in the winter months or when the plants are dormant. I use worm castings, or compost tea which provides all the nutrition they need.Need more details on how to care for your succulent plants? See the Succulent Plant page.

Displaying your collection to it's full potential is challenging - here are some containers for succulents that might inspire you. Aeonium are gorgeous rosette forming succulent plants with burgundy, bright green and sometimes variegated foliage. 
Aloinopsis luckhoffii is one of the tiniest and sweetest plants in my collection. The funny puffy leaves have the strangest texture, almost beaded over a jelly like interior. The colours are distinctive, the slate blue and pale terracotta pleasing to the eye. This tiny pot is only about 2.5cm across, to give the scale of this jewel like plant.
It has a tuber which stores water for the lean times, sometimes almost filling the pot with the strange turnip like structures. 
Waxy white bloom covered thick leaves of Cotyledon undulata are held upright forming a cluster. The newest leaves have a wavy edge, giving rise to its species name of undulata. Slow growing, but a great addition to your collection. Available in 2011. Go to the page all about Crassula here. Haworthia are the jewels of the succulent world.
Pretty mauve to blue stars of very flat rosettes are a distinctive feature of this lovely plant with the long winded name of Graptopetalum pentalum 'Superbum'. The waxy bloom coating the foliage gives it a very pale appearance.
I'm always looking for new and exciting plants to add to my collection, and one I've had a fascination with for a long time, but could never find until now is Lithops - maybe you'll feel the same way.
