In my experience, succulents are some of the easiest and friendliest plants to work with! They’re very easy to care for, and I would definitely reccomend them to beginner witches!
Echeveria : a very common plant to find in stores and nurseries, they come in a wide variety of colors and textures! Very easy to care for.
-good for spells involving emotional healing, color magic, and sympathetic magic.
Sempervivum : looks similar to echeveria, thought also called the live forever plants for their longevity, houseleeks because they were grown on roofs and eaten, and hens and chicks (though I’m not sure why.) It is also said that planting these on/in your house will protect them from lightning.
-good for spells involving longevity, the home, weather magic, and emotional bonds.
Bear Paw (Cotyledon) : A small, fuzzy succulent shaped like little paws! They’re so, so cute but a little more difficult to find than others.
-good for spells involving emotional comfort, emotional protection, and glamours involving cuteness/softness or seeming non threatening.
Barrel Cactus : a round, barrel shaped friend. They come in many colors but most common is dark green, they’re also covered in spines. Be very careful, keep out of way of children or pets that may come to investigate it!
-good for spells involving protection, banishing, retaining energy/spoons, and keeping things out/away.
Rock Plants (Lithops) : little plants with two large, fleshy leaves that part to make way for flowers and new leaves. The name comes from the Greek for “rock” and “face.”
-good for spells involving the earth, warding, emotional + physical strength, and holding things steadfast.
Stonecrop (Sedum) : they’re little drooping friends and they come in so many shapes and sizes. So easy to care for, they thrive even in inhospitable areas.
-good for spells involving staying strong, emotional + mental hardiness, and thriving where it’s inhospitable.
String of Pearls (Senecio) : long strings of round leaves, these plants get rooted and start growing forever. They definitely earn the name.
-good for glamours, exponential growth, and wealth spells.
Aeonium : sweet friends! Very colorful, each plant containing vivid and wide coloration, they just exude happiness. Just look at them!
-good for happiness, energy boosts, and spoonie magic.
This isn’t a complete or comprehensive list (I’ll make one of those some other time) and there are many more succulent species! Good luck and grow well
