Various genera
Succulents store water in their thick, fleshy leaves, which makes them forgiving, compact, and endlessly collectible. From echeveria rosettes to trailing string-of-pearls, they suit desks, windowsills, and small city apartments.
Nigeria's abundant sunshine is exactly what succulents evolved for. They shrug off heat that would wilt other plants, and need only occasional watering even during the hottest months.

Light
Bright light to direct morning sun — a sunny window or balcony is ideal.
Water
Every 1–2 weeks, deeply but infrequently. Never let them sit in water.
Soil
Very gritty, fast-draining soil — cactus mix or loam with plenty of sand.
Pro tip
If leaves turn soft and translucent, you're overwatering; wrinkled leaves mean they're thirsty.
