A day for succulent plants

Succulent plants are plants with thickened, fleshy parts, such as leaves, stems, or roots, that store water to survive in arid climates or soil conditions. Common examples include cacti, aloe vera, and jade plants. November 20th is a day dedicated to such plants, to let more people know about their individuality and charm.

Succulent plants are popular for their low-maintenance nature and diverse shapes, colors, and sizes. They are relatively easy to grow and recommended for people with limited experience of keeping plants. The color changes with the seasons and so they have an ornamental value. For some people they might make a nice interior decoration or gift. Personally, while I appreciate their uniqueness, I prefer other type of plants. 

The date of the anniversary is from the fact that the succulents will transform into more beautiful and colorful around November 20th, when frost begins to fall in Mizuho City, Gifu Prefecture, where the "Saboten (cactus) Village" is. "Saboten Village is operated by the company, Kikoen, who created "Succulent Plant Day".
