Cactus & succulents – Graphic beauty and minimalist spirit

Why choose cacti and succulents

These iconic plants combine contemporary aesthetics and ease of care. Their ability to store water in their tissues makes them particularly suited to modern lifestyles.

• Minimal care: perfect for busy or beginner people.
• Exceptional resilience: they withstand heat, drought, and missed watering.
• Natural design: graphic shapes, varied textures, and sculptural silhouettes.
• Versatility: can be grown in bright interiors or outdoors in full sun.
• Longevity: some live for several decades and multiply easily.

The charm of the desert invites itself into your home — in a natural, bright, and peaceful atmosphere.

The must-have varieties at Verdeia

Whether spiky or soft, compact or slender, cacti and succulents offer an incredible diversity of shapes and colors.

• Aloe vera: known for its soothing properties and graphic foliage.
• Echeveria: delicate rosette with pastel tones, ideal in arrangements or terrariums.
• Crassula ovata (jade tree): symbol of prosperity and serenity.
• Sansevieria: upright and structured foliage, perfect for a modern look.

• Haworthia: small graphic plant, ideal for offices or bright corners.

Each variety brings its personality and fits equally well in a clean interior or an outdoor arrangement.

Where and how to install them

Cacti and succulents adapt to all bright environments. They particularly appreciate well-exposed locations and light soils.

• Indoors: near a south- or west-facing window where the light is strong.
• Outdoors: on a terrace, windowsill, or sunny balcony.
• Substrate: a draining mix (soil + sand + perlite) to avoid stagnant moisture.
• Pots: prefer terracotta pots for better root breathing.

In a few weeks, your space transforms into a chic and contemporary mini-desert.

Care & Verdeia tips

Cacti and succulents require little but appreciate consistency. Their beauty relies on the balance between light, controlled watering, and space.

• Watering: once every 2 to 3 weeks in summer, almost never in winter.
• Light: essential for their growth — a bright location is crucial.
• Repotting: every 2 to 3 years, in spring, into a slightly larger pot.
• Monitoring: avoid excess water, the main cause of root rot.

A simple routine for plants that bring calm, structure, and modernity to your interior.

Inspiration & decoration

Cacti and succulents pair perfectly with natural materials: light wood, ceramic, concrete, or rattan. Alone or in arrangements, they add a zen and minimalist spirit to your decor.

For a Mediterranean touch, combine several varieties in a large terracotta pot, or create a graphic composition with Echeveria and Haworthia in a low planter.
