If you’re anything like the rest of us, you’ve probably dreamed of having your own plant at home. However, it’s not always easy to keep a plant alive. Perhaps you’ve simply been choosing the wrong kind of plant. Succulents are some of the best plants to keep in our homes because of their ability to provide oxygen and remove pollutants from our midst – and they’re super low maintenance.

When it comes to maintaining a plant in our home, succulents are some of the top choices. Unlike other plants that come with a great deal of responsibility, succulents don’t need very much work. If you’re someone who constantly forgets to water the plants, these succulents are a godsend, aren’t they?

Succulents have become trendy for this very reason. After all, if work makes it hard for you to care for a plant, why would you choose anything different? The low-maintenance plants also come in a wide range of colors. The dolphin succulent just may be the most beautiful succulent of all.

These plants create the perfect vibe in any room. All you need is a dolphin succulent and instantly you’ll create a whimsical look. These plants exist as a clever hybrid. They’re a mix of String of Pearls and the Hot Dog cactus. While the may not be available at your local nursery, there are a number of locations where they can be ordered online.

All they need is bright light but they don’t need to be exposed to direct light consistently. Be sure to keep the succulents in a pot that drains properly, as they’re not a fan of excess moisture. During cold weather months, the plant will go dormant. It won’t need to be watered as often during this period.

One simple leaf is placed into damp soil and the plant sprouts up in no time at all. Rabbit succulents are also available for those who are in search of a plant that looks like a different animal. Be sure to pass these adorable plants along to your friends and loved ones, so that they can choose the right succulent for their own home.
