Are cheeky plants succulent?

1. The connection between the two

Strictly speaking, "cheeky plants" are a type of "succulents". In addition to this kind of plant, "succulents" also include many other types, such as "Huangli", "Green Beauty", "Lithops", "Bachelor Tree" and so on. In addition, various cacti also fall into the broad category of "succulents". So, we can conclude that "succulents" covers a much wider range and includes the previous category of plants.

In addition, different regions have different opinions about "cheeky plants". Some areas believe that it refers to "Yushu"; some places believe that it refers to "Hazy Moon" and "Winter Beauty". However, no matter which region they are in, they are all considered succulents. However, because their leaves are very thick and their vitality is very strong, they are habitually called "cheeky plants".

2. Classification

Based on the opinions from different regions, the "cheeky plants" we are talking about now mainly include the following two types:
