Common Types of Succulents There Are About 60 Plant Families That Fall Under the Broad Umbrella of the Succulent Category Common Types of Succulents There are about 60 plant families that fall under the broad umbrella of the succulent category. Four of the most popular families are Sempervivum, Cactaceae (cacti), Sedum and Haworthia. We’ve included examples and images of popular types of succulents from each family. Check out some of the details that set these plant families apart and see which one may be the best fit for your next plant. Cactaceae (cacti) Cacti are one of the most recognizable types of succulents with their protective prickly spines. They can withstand extreme cold and heat and survive with little water due to their acclimation to the desert. • Opuntia microdasys (bunny ears cactus) • Schlumbergera bridgesii (Christmas cactus) • Gymnocalycium mihanovichii (moon cactus) Haworthia Haworthia plants are a small succulent variety that hail from Southern Africa. They are used to a lot of sun and dry periods. Although they are small in size, the Haworthia genus makes up a large part of the succulent family. • Haworthia fasciata (zebra haworthia) • Haworthia cooperi (pussy foot) • Haworthia limifolia (fairy washboard) Sedum Sedum succulents come in a variety of shapes and sizes with the smallest at just a few inches tall and the largest reaching heights of three feet tall. Sedum plants are part of the Crassulaceae family of which the famous Crassulaceae ovata (jade plant) is a part of. They can withstand a lot of sun and little water. • Sedum morganianum (burro’s tail) • Sedum rubrotinctum (jelly bean plant) • Sedum spp. (stonecrop) Sempervivum Sempervivum succulents can be identified by their classic rosette shape. They come in a variety of colors and some that flower. These hardy succulents are also frost resistant — very fitting for a plant whose name means “always alive.” • Sempervivum tectorum (hens-and-chicks) • Sempervivum montanum (mountain houseleek) • Sempervivum arachnoideum (cobweb houseleek) Succulent Care Tips Contrary to their tough guy persona, succulents still need love and attention. Dead leaves at the bottom of the plant are common so simply remove them to keep your plant happy. To make sure that you don’t kill one of the most kill-resistant plants, follow these guidelines below to avoid a common plant care faux pas. Ample sunlight is essential for a succulent’s development — most need at least 3–6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Plant or place in a space where it can receive plenty of sunlight, like a south- or east-facing window. Rarely, too much direct sunlight can “sunburn” a succulent — it’s very unlikely but keep an eye out for any unusual scorch marks. Succulents that don’t receive enough light may begin to “stretch” their leaves outward to absorb as much light as possible. Succulents don’t need a lot of water due to their desert climate adaptations. The general rule of thumb is to let their soil dry completely before watering them again. If you don’t let their roots dry in between watering, their roots could rot and kill your plant. If the environment is very hot and they have an effective drainage system they may need to be watered more frequently — about every 2–3 weeks because their soil will dry up faster. As the weather gets colder, you will need to water them less. Since succulents are used to extreme temperatures the majority can survive in temperatures ranging from about 40–95º F. However, some of the more delicate varieties should be kept in a more conservative temperature range. As mentioned above, the temperature that you keep the succulent in should be tied to the amount of water it receives. Most succulents are not toxic. In fact, succulents like Opuntia ficus- indica (prickly pear) and Aloe vera are frequently used as ingredients in many delicious dishes. Some succulent varieties, mainly cacti, have spines that could puncture skin so keep an eye out for that. Even though most succulents are not toxic for humans or pets, there are some varieties you should avoid if you have little ones or fur babies running around your home. Succulents toxic to humans: • Euphorbias — their sap can irritate skin and cause stomach pain if ingested Succulents toxic to pets: • Aloe vera — can cause lethargy and digestive issues if ingested • Crassula ovata (jade plant) — ingestion can cause stomach issues • Euphorbias — their sap can cause a rash and stomach pain if ingested • Kalanchoes — rarely fatal but ingestion can make animals sick Non-toxic options: • Echeveria varieties • Graptopetalum paraguayense (ghost plant, mother of pearl) • Haworthia varieties • Sedum morganianum (burro’s tail, donkey’s tail) • Sempervivum tectorum (hens-and-chicks) Succulents are prone to mealybugs, scale bugs, fungus gnats and spider mites. Use a cotton swab with mild soap, alcohol or natural insecticide to remove the pests and quarantine any infected plants to keep pests from spreading to other plants. Succulents are tough, resistant plants, but some issues that plague them include: • Overwatering is the biggest problem that can lead to loss of leaves, yellow leaves, root rot or misshapen leaves • Insufficient sun can lead to stunted growth or stretched stems and leaves • Lack of nutrients can cause stunted growth, misshapen or yellow leaves Some fewer common problems include: • Under-watering can lead to shriveled, yellow or misshapen leaves • Too much sun can cause “burns” and brown spots to appear Succulents should be planted in soil and planters that have adequate drainage. Use a cacti soil as a base and add organic matter like peat moss and larger pebbles and rocks to help soil drain more efficiently. Repotting requirements depend on the growth of your plant and if you need to move it indoors for winter. If your plant has outgrown its pot or needs a warmer home check out our guide to properly repotting a plant. Propagating your succulents is a great way to grow your collection and many varieties propagate very easily! A popular succulent, “hens-and-chicks” got its name from how easily it propagates: The small “chicks” split off from their mother plant, the “hen,” and grow into a new “hen” plant. There are different methods to propagate succulents, including: • Behead your plant — If your plant has grown lanky and frail, remove the heavy top plant growth (cut the stem an inch below the leaves) and plant it separately • Separate its roots — Unearth the succulent, untangle the collections of roots and divide the plant from the roots up • Remove mini growths — Remove “plantlets” (fully-formed mini plant growths that can grow solo) and plant them separately • Remove leaves — Use severed leaves and cuttings to sprout new plants Follow these steps below to expand your succulent collection using cuttings: 1. Twist off or cut a couple of leaves from your plant — don’t snap or break them off 2. Lay the cuttings on soil with the severed end in the soil — use potted soil that drains well 3. Water them with a mister since they are laying on the soil close to the surface 4. Keep watering them about 2–3 times a week until roots and a new plant growth, also known as a “pup” or “chick,” have formed on the old leaf 5. Repot the new plant growth and remove the old leaf once it withers Because there are so many different types of succulents, it is best to do some research about the specific plant that you choose to make sure you provide optimal care. Succulents are so versatile and work in a variety of garden features like vertical gardens, succulent walls and other fun fresh succulent decor. Succulents make a great gift for a friend because they symbolize endurance and loyalty! Pro tip: Pair the plant with care instructions and a punny succulent card for a fun addition to your gift. Succulent Plants and Arrangements The unique landscape of the southwest, with tumbleweeds rolling across airy deserts and ghost towns riddled with rattlesnakes and cacti, is something straight out of a movie. If you want to add some western flare to your home, succulent plants will do the trick. Succulent arrangements are easy to care for, making them the perfect gift for a loved one or for yourself! At ProFlowers, we have a variety of succulents online to choose from that will help add some desert vibes to any home. How do you keep succulents alive indoors? There’s an art to keeping live succulents healthy indoors. While succulents are known to withstand extreme conditions and don’t require a lot of attention, if they’re not taken care of properly, you can end up with dead and wilting plants. To keep succulents alive indoors, think about their natural habitat: the desert. This means you should keep your succulent plants in direct sunlight, and provide them with enough water, but be careful not to overwater them. Just like all plants, succulents need room to breathe and grow. So, to create the perfect potted garden, give your succulents ample sunlight, water, and room. What are the benefits of succulents? Succulent delivery is the perfect way to show someone how much you care about them. This is because succulents have many proven benefits! When you send succulents, have peace of mind knowing they have special powers, such as the ability to: • Clean and purify the air • Enhance memory • Add oxygen to the air • Increase pain tolerance • Improve focus • Help people breathe better Succulents make great office plants and home plants, as they improve the air quality around us, resulting in a better sense of clarity, focus, and peace. How often should indoor succulents be watered? As you now know, succulents are desert-dwellers, meaning they’re used to arid climates with little rain.

  • Checklist of the Vascular Alien Flora of Catalonia (Northeastern Iberian Peninsula, Spain) Pere Aymerich1 & Llorenç Sáez2,3
    BOTANICAL CHECKLISTS Mediterranean Botany ISSNe 2603-9109 https://dx.doi.org/10.5209/mbot.63608 Checklist of the vascular alien flora of Catalonia (northeastern Iberian Peninsula, Spain) Pere Aymerich1 & Llorenç Sáez2,3 Received: 7 March 2019 / Accepted: 28 June 2019 / Published online: 7 November 2019 Abstract. This is an inventory of the vascular alien flora of Catalonia (northeastern Iberian Peninsula, Spain) updated to 2018, representing 1068 alien taxa in total. 554 (52.0%) out of them are casual and 514 (48.0%) are established. 87 taxa (8.1% of the total number and 16.8 % of those established) show an invasive behaviour. The geographic zone with more alien plants is the most anthropogenic maritime area. However, the differences among regions decrease when the degree of naturalization of taxa increases and the number of invaders is very similar in all sectors. Only 26.2% of the taxa are more or less abundant, while the rest are rare or they have vanished. The alien flora is represented by 115 families, 87 out of them include naturalised species. The most diverse genera are Opuntia (20 taxa), Amaranthus (18 taxa) and Solanum (15 taxa). Most of the alien plants have been introduced since the beginning of the twentieth century (70.7%), with a strong increase since 1970 (50.3% of the total number). Almost two thirds of alien taxa have their origin in Euro-Mediterranean area and America, while 24.6% come from other geographical areas. The taxa originated in cultivation represent 9.5%, whereas spontaneous hybrids only 1.2%. From the temporal point of view, the rate of Euro-Mediterranean taxa shows a progressive reduction parallel to an increase of those of other origins, which have reached 73.2% of introductions during the last 50 years.

Dr. Éva Sátory, D.Sc. Budapest 2013 INTRODUCTION In recent years a number of medicinal plants have been proved to offer an alternative to synthetic drugs in preventing and treating diseases. Quality control of standardized herb extracts is an essential part of investigations regarding safety, efficacy and therapeutical reproducibility. However, it is not an easy task, because medicinal plant extracts or preparations comprising several herbs are complex mixtures of numerous different compounds among which a substantial proportion is unknown. This applies particularly to extracts containing plant phenolics, since these are present in plant material in great structural variability. Characterization of quality includes phytochemical screening of medicinal plants with the objectives of authentication and relevation of diagnostic compounds to avoid adulteration. In order to develop modern evidence-based phytomedicines or registered herbal extracts, standardization is a crucial step. It comprises identification and determination of the active substances in a herbal remedy, as well as development of validated methods for comprehensive chemical characterization and quantification of the main compounds. However, pharmacological effects often can not be attributed to a certain active substance, but a sort of constituents contribute to them or a synergistic effect between compounds exists.

At the highly frequented Gornergrat in Switzerland there was a need to develop a concept to demerge the paths of hikers and mountain bikers and thus enable a conflict-free use for all user groups. The pre- sent study aimed at providing vegetation maps of the sensible areas at Gornergrat to derive recommendations for the planning and res- toration of the new trail network. For this purpose, we sampled 32 vegetation plots (10 m²). These were then subjected to TWINSPAN classification, and the derived five units characterized by their diagnostic species based on standardized phi-values. We used ANOVA to test for differences of these units with regard to environmental parameters. The five distinguished vegetation units were assigned to syntaxa down to the alliance level.
