Introduction to Succulent Plants.

Extractions from Wikipedia

In botany, succulent plants, also known as succulents or sometimes fat plants, are plants having some parts that are more than normally thickened and fleshy, usually to retain water in arid climates or soil conditions. Succulent plants may store water in various structures, such as leaves and stems. Some definitions also include roots, so that geophytes that survive unfavourable periods by dying back to underground storage organs may be regarded as succulents. In horticultural use, the term "succulent" is often used in a way which excludes plants that botanists would regard as succulents, such ascacti. Succulents are grown as ornamental plants because of their striking and unusual appearance.

Basic Care Instruction for Succulent 

1. It needs lots of sun light. Best just under the windows.
2. Does not need to water frequently, may be once in 5 days. Too much water in the soil will rot the roots.

As illustrated in the attached photograph, gravels will have to cover the bottom layer, so as any excess water will not be trapped in the soil. Succulent plants needs very little fertilization.
