Most people only see succulents as house plants but, of course, they do grow wild because that is where they came from originally. These are not cactus. Here is a short explanation of where they originate.
Succulents originate from dry, desert locations. Succulents first cropped up in areas with long dry seasons (such as Africa), since they store water in their leaves. 2 They get their name from their thick, sap-filled leaves. Succulent comes from the Latin word "sucus," which means juice or sap. See "10 Things You Never Knew About Succulents."This plant was growing at the Smithsonian's National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute in Washington, D.C.
