Lykkers, have you ever felt the urge to bring a splash of green into your busy city life? Between work, study, and errands, taking care of delicate plants often feels impossible.
That's where succulents come in—they're the ultimate "lazy plant" heroes. Even for someone like us who struggles with plant care, succulents make it easy to create a lively, green little world at home.
Why We Love Succulents
The biggest advantage of succulents is that they're incredibly easy to care for—they practically grow themselves. Many of them originate from arid regions, so their thick leaves and stems store water, meaning they need very little watering. In our experience, watering them once every two weeks—or even once a month—is usually enough. Missing a watering because of a business trip or long hours won't harm them.
We remember leaving our plants alone for two weeks during a trip, and when we returned, they were still thriving, looking just as healthy as before. Compared to plants that need daily attention, succulents are perfect for busy people who prefer a "hands-off" approach. They're basically the stress-free green friends we never knew we needed.
Resilient Growth for Busy Lives
Succulents are remarkably resilient. Even if a leaf falls off by accident, you can lay it flat on soil with good airflow, and before long, it will sprout tiny roots and new growth, eventually becoming a whole new plant. This "leaf propagation" is both fun and rewarding, giving us little surprises as new plants emerge. Many of the succulents on our balcony actually started from a single leaf!
They are adaptable to different soils and lighting conditions too. Just regular nutrient soil with some drainage material, placed in a bright window or balcony, is enough for them to grow strong and healthy. For Lykkers with limited time, this means we can enjoy a lush green corner without complicated routines or daily maintenance.
Charming Colors and Shapes
Succulents also shine with their looks. They come in countless shapes, sizes, and colors. Take the plump Paw Succulent, with fuzzy-edged leaves that look like little claws—so adorable it feels almost unfair. Or the graceful Butterfly Plant, with layered leaves that unfold like a blooming lotus. And the vivid Rainbow Succulent, whose foliage glows with purple-red hues under bright sunlight, effortlessly drawing our gaze.
By arranging different varieties together in a tray, mixing heights and colors, we can create a small, living artwork that brings natural beauty to our homes. A simple succulent display instantly makes a space feel cozier and more alive.
A Healing Hobby
Caring for succulents is also a soothing, almost meditative experience. We find calm when loosening soil, changing containers, and watching new leaves or flower stalks emerge. Observing these tiny lives grow in our hands gives a deep sense of satisfaction.
It's amazing how much joy a small plant can bring. For busy Lykkers, these little moments of care are like mini-breaks in our hectic routines, helping us slow down and enjoy the little things.
Why We Recommend Succulents
If you're looking to add greenery to your life but worry about having enough time to care for plants, succulents are a perfect choice. Their tiny bodies bring big surprises and comfort, letting even the busiest of us enjoy a touch of green.
For Lykkers, embracing these little plants means creating a calm, refreshing corner in our hectic lives—without any stress. Their adaptability, resilience, and charm make them ideal companions for anyone wanting to make their space more inviting.

Lykkers, bringing succulents into our homes isn't just about decoration—it's about adding a touch of life, calm, and joy to our everyday space. Their low-maintenance care, resilience, and charming look make enjoying greenery simple and stress-free.
