World deserts and dry areas are home to the most interesting plants. Canarius offers one of the widest selections in Europe of succulent plants of maximum quality, because they are grown outdoors in the full sun of the Canary Islands. Succulents or "fat plants" are water-retaining species adapted to dry conditions. They store succum (=juice, water) in their leaves, stems or roots and  often show a stout and fleshy appearance.
