The kingdom of plants thrives where sunshine and water interlink. Some are strong, some are gentle. Behind every plant, whether big or minuscule lies a symbol, a hidden meaning that can be discovered by us humans. Succulents symbolize enduring and timeless love for they are tenacious plants that store water in their thick leaves and stems.
They offer us a positive example by conserving water and flourishing in very difficult circumstances, reminding us that we are stronger than we realize and even the most arduous situations is not the end of the line.
Succulents are incredible design choices because they naturally contain so many shapes you can work with and integrate into the look of your space. Here are a few succulents from our collection.

Coral Cactus – The Underwater Coral
Coral is a sign of deep and profound changes in the works. You have been working hard toward your professional and personal development for a while now. The meaning behind the coral is to let you know that now it is time for the pay off and play out of your phase.

This Coral Cactus is incredibly resilient and can withstand beginners. The funny looking creature is the ideal piece to enliven any room but demands bright light – a small, achievable catch.
How to take care of succulents
Because of their unique ability to retain water, succulents tend to thrive in warm, dry climates and don’t mind a little neglect. This makes them well adapted to indoor growing and ideal for people desiring low-maintenance houseplants. Many people think that all succulents are cacti but this is not the case; however, all cacti are succulents.
These strong, resilient plants work best in environments that get bright light, such as a windowsill or a glass door, or under a skylight. All you have to do is water these plants with a spray bottle, and wipe down with a paper towel if dusty. While growing, cacti and succulents should be watered at least once a week. During each watering, give the soil a refreshing soak, and all the water to run out of the ‘drainage holes’ of the pots. Watch them grow and lift the mood of the room as well as the guests’ spirits.
