Do Succulents Catch on Fire?

According to Cal Fire, "a wildfire-front passes within 10 to 15 minutes." See what common succulents look like after exposure to flames for 5 to 12 minutes. Unlike the oak and green bamboo branches we tested for comparison, which burned immediately, succulents placed on the fire pit charred but didn't catch fire. They include jade, aloe, aeonium, firesticks, elephant’s food and paddle cactus, all of which store water in fleshy leaves and are good landscape plants for fire-prone regions of California. #wildfire #firebreak #firewise plants. Disclaimer: Growing succulents does NOT guarantee a house won’t burn during a wildfire. These plants that store water in their leaves and are slow to catch fire merely serve as one more protective measure.
