The family Crassulaceae, commonly known as the stonecrop family, consists of succulent plants that thrive in dry environments. These plants are characterized by their fleshy leaves and stems, which store water, allowing them to survive in arid conditions. Many species within this family are popular in gardens and landscaping due to their low maintenance and attractive appearance. Crassulaceae includes a variety of genera, such as Sedum and Echeveria, which are well-known for their ornamental qualities. These plants often produce clusters of small, colorful flowers, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. Their ability to adapt to different climates makes them a favorite among gardeners and plant enthusiasts.
