REFLECTION
I learned from my experience that through this activity, I have contributed
something good to the environment when I handed this plant (succulent) to our
Dean of College of Arts and Sciences.

I also discovered and learned that succulents are a diverse group of plants
that come in many colors and shapes. There are over 20,000 varieties with kinds
suited for all growing conditions. They store water in their leaves which tend to be
thick and plump, although some have thinner leaves. They often grow in dry
climates without much humidity. Succulent comes from the Latin word "sucus,"
which means juice or sap. It's also a nod to the nourishing leaves that help these
plants survive in extremely warm conditions (aka you only have to water yours
once a week, since they thrive in sunlight and dry air).

Succulents symbolize enduring and timeless love for they are tenacious
plants that store water in their thick leaves and stems. These strong, resilient
plants work best in environments that get bright light, such as a windowsill or a
glass door, or under a skylight. All you have to do is water these plants with a
spray bottle, and wipe down with a paper towel if dusty. While growing, cacti and
succulents should be watered at least once a week. During each watering, give
the soil a refreshing soak, and all the water to run out of the ‘drainage holes’ of the
pots. Watch them grow and lift the mood of the room as well as the guests’ spirits.
