Weekly topic challenge: succulents [completed]

Question

I made a post asking for topic ideas for the challenge, and the next open suggestion is for succulents.

From cacti to sedum, euphorbia to crassula, succulents are everywhere. As houseplants, as garden plants, anywhere, ask about succulents. How to care for them, uses for particular species, identification, safety, etc.

Please use the tag succulents when posting questions for this challenge, and remember to keep the site quality at a good level.

Next week, on December 15, I will tally up the results to see how we did, in an answer below this post. Feedback? Comment below this post or find me in our chat room. Have fun!
