My collection of succulent plants and some cactus.

This is my collection of succulent plants that I show you in photos.

I took advantage of some pallets that I had left from the last move, I fixed them to the wall, I placed a wood as a shelf fixing it on each support block of the pallet and I got a functional pot-holder for all the succulents that I have been collecting over the years.

The varieties that I have are many despite not reaching the 60 families of succulent plants that this species contemplates.

The name succulent or succulent comes from Latin meaning "juicy" or "substantial" and in fact we see in them that their leaves or stems are specially adapted to store water in larger quantities than plants without this adaptation. This is one of the reasons why they must be protected from the cold because when the temperature is below zero degrees the liquid freezes and the plants dry up and die, unlike cacti that resist without problems both high and low temperatures because their water storage inside the plant is minimal.

I also have some cactus plants. I discovered, looking on the Internet, that cacti belong to the succulents, they are one more species, some with thorns and others without them.

In successive posts I will show you all the species one by one taking close-up photos of each plant.

For the technical detail of the photos I have used as background the Wallpaper designed by The Peak Studio to whom I thank for the kind and disinterested concession of use.
