The storage of water often gives succulent plants a more swollen or fleshy appearance than other plants, a characteristic known as succulence. In addition to succulence, succulent plants variously have other water-saving features. These may include:

✒Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) to minimize water loss

✒absent, reduced, or cylindrical-to-spherical leaves

✒reduction in the number of stomata

✒stems as the main site of photosynthesis, rather than leaves

✒compact, reduced, cushion-like, columnar, or spherical growth form

✒ribs enabling rapid increases in plant volume and decreasing surface area exposed to the sun

✒waxy, hairy, or spiny outer surface to create a humid micro-habitat around the plant, which reduces air movement near the surface of the plant, and thereby reduces water loss and creates shade

✒roots very near the surface of the soil, so they are able to take up moisture from very small showers or even from heavy dew

✒ability to remain plump and full of water even with high internal temperatures (e.g., 52 °C or 126 °F)

✒very impervious outer cuticle (skin)

✒mucilaginous substances, which retain water abundantly

These plants are from Baguio City. My cousin ordered it online and replanted.
