In almost all the balconies of the houses, which are part of the traditional architecture in San Miguel, you can admire flowers and plants of all colors and species.
However, there is a type of plant that is becoming more and more popular among lovers of flora: succulents. If you like the peculiar shapes and colors of these plants, you should know that San Miguel is one of the most suitable places for them thanks to its «desert» climate; It is not for nothing that there are so many cacti in the fields of the city.
But, did you know that there are more than 7 thousand species of succulents? Among them we can highlight some families such as Argyrodermas, Echeverias, Lithops, Sempervivum, Haworthias, Cactaceae, Aeonium, Agaves, Aloes, Graptopétalum, Pleióspilos, Kalanchoes, Crássulas… The list is endless!
Therefore, if you live in San Miguel, you are in the right place to become a succulent collector. In addition, as we have already presented in another edition of San Miguel in Numbers, there are dozens of nurseries that you can visit for this.
