Urbanization and climate change have made succulents the poster children of sustainable gardening. Minimal water needs and architectural beauty drive their popularity in cities. TikTok trends and rare plant swaps fuel collector culture. Indoor gardening soothes eco-anxiety and boosts mental health, with succulents thriving even in tight apartments. Hybrid varieties and bioengineered colors emerge, while ethical sourcing becomes key as wild harvesting threatens native habitats. Succulent gardening is no longer just aesthetic—it’s ecological mindfulness in miniature form.
