Cacti and succulents make very low maintenance houseplants delivering colourful foliage and starburst blooms. Find suggestions for the best cacti and succulents for each part of the house below. Don’t forget, not all cacti are spiky!
Echeveria have lovely rosettes of uniform leaves that throw up a tall flower spike in summer. These flower spikes carry bell shaped blooms in delicate cream and orange shades. Another top flowering succulent is aloe ‘Safari Sunrise’. It’s a free flowering aloe with towering sunrise toned blooms that rise up from the compact base.
Cactus gymnocalycium mihanovichii f. variegata is an unusual form of moon cactus that offers sunrise shades of red, yellow and orange. This compact indoor cactus makes a fantastic gift but equally suits a desk or windowsill. Our cactus in funny face pots are a fun way to start your cacti houseplant collection and the pots add a touch of humour to an office space or kitchen bench. Display your small indoor cacti on a shelf or mantle to admire from afar and keep them from being knocked by pets.
Echeveria, sedum and sempervivums are all safe for dogs and cats. It’s important to check your houseplants before bringing them into a pet friendly space. Cats and dogs, especially puppies, love to explore with their mouth and may nibble a houseplant. Choosing these pet friendly succulents ensures that your pet won’t get sick if they do decide to have a taste!
Shade can be a tricky condition for succulent houseplants. The most tolerant succulent of a shady spot is crassula ovata, also known as the jade plant. Check your shade succulent to make sure it’s firm and healthy looking. If it’s looking a bit sad, give it a holiday on a sunny windowsill to perk it up. If that doesn’t work, pick up troubleshooting tips in our house plant doctor post on the T&M blog.
