They're your loyal friends, they'll never leave you, and they're low maintenance. Am I talking about dogs? No, but perhaps these are the "dogs" of plants. I'm talking about cacti and succulents, the hardy desert plants that just want some love.
1. These hardy plants are the perfect companions for college students, because they're hard (but not impossible) to kill.
2. They're low maintenance, so it's not that hard to take care of them, even during finals week.
3. They're generally easier to transport than fish.
4. You never have to worry about abandoning them during the day.
5. They're a conversation starter.
6. They come in all sorts of colors.
7. They come in all shapes and sizes.
8. There's plenty of opportunities for puns.
9. They'll always stay up late studying with you.
10. They're always happy to see you.
11. You don't have to pet them, but you can if you want to (with caution).
12. They need love, just like all the other plants.
