Lesson 1: Reading Spikes and Limbs

Since succulents are a different species from many other humans, they must be read mainly through body language. The drooping of a limb* can mean they are sad; while the sharpness of their spikes can show they are angry. Similar to human body language, the body language of a succulent can be portrayed clearly. Although the main part of a succulent's body movements are easily read, the most challenging therapy is when a succulent is green and healthy. When this happens, you may need to begin speaking to a succulent. 

*limb: a thicker looking leaf that makes up part of a succulent. Often many limbs are found on a succulent to construct their body.
