Cactus, a slow-growing succulent, has stiff, joinedted, fleshy stems that are covered with hard, leathery foliage. The cut section must be at least one node above that of the cut with the internode (a part of the stem without any leaves).

This succulent should only be given fertilizer during the growing period, in the spring and summer months. The first flower blooms in spring, and the second in fall.

Chances are you own an Echeveria - they are a popular kind of succulent and come in many shapes and sizes; often recognizable by their distinct rosette. Their growth is slowened when they are held in small containers.
