Cactis&Succulents

Add lower-effort plants to your space with cacti and succulents

If you're looking to add a bit of life to your space but don't fancy yourself much of a green thumb, or just don't have the time to dedicate to full plant care, cacti can be a sharp-looking (and feeling, so be careful) option. But they are not the only lower-effort plants you can add to your home or office. Other succulents can also be fantastic additions. Whether you're looking for a prickly character or a bit smoother operator, eBay is home to thousands of cacti and succulents that can liven up the various areas of your home without requiring the upkeep of other houseplants

What are succulents?

Succulents are a type of plant that holds enough water inside its leaves, stems and roots that it is resistant to drought. This water storage gives them a generally chunkier, thicker appearance that looks great. But the main benefit of this water storage for you is that these plants can thrive and survive with less frequent watering than many other types of plants.

What are examples of succulent plants?

There are plenty of different succulent types located around the world. Some of the most common that you can buy online are:

  • Cacti
  • Aloe vera
  • Jade plants
  • Bromeliad

Where should I keep cacti and succulents indoors?

One of the best things about making cacti and succulents part of your office or home décor setup is that you can put them just about anywhere because they're such sturdy plants. However, it's generally a good idea to get them in or near as much sunlight as possible.

You also might want to start with ones that are mostly green in colour. Succulents and cacti that feature brighter colours tend to prefer much more direct sunlight and are better suited for the outdoors.

What are the benefits of having cacti and succulents?

In addition to looking great, there are plenty of other great benefits of having succulents in your home or workspace, including:

  • Air quality. Succulents (and other green indoor plants) can help suck impurities out of the air, including absorbing carbon dioxide.
  • Better mood. Studies from around the world have shown that having plants around you can play a major factor in how well you feel mentally. They can help lower your stress levels and even have been shown to increase your productivity and creativity, making them excellent additions to your workspace.
  • Less work. While succulents and cacti do require regular attention, that regularity is far less frequent than many other types of plants. That means you get a lot of great benefits with much less effort.

Whether you've owned dozens of succulents and cacti over the years and are just adding a new one, want to buy a great-looking, rewarding gift that will keep on giving for a friend or family member or are just diving into the world of indoor plants for the first time, eBay has you covered.
