The etymology of its name is from the ancient Greek word Kallos, which means beautiful. Plants in this genus belong to the Commelinaceae family.
Most of the plants in this genus are creepers, forming a thick mat on the ground when given the opportunity.

Hey everyone! I’m Richard. Welcome to my blog, which is all about succulents, cacti, and a bit about air plants. Ten years back, in 2013, I began my journey with succulents. It started as a simple hobby, crafting and selling charming succulent-themed pins and decorations. But as time passed, my fascination with these remarkable plants grew, and I gained extensive knowledge about them. Therefore, Succulent City is the blog as you see it is now. Enjoy your visit and happly planting!
