FORM, MEET FUNCTION Niche began as a way to give individuals living in large urban areas access to plants and natural elements not readily available in their inorganic and compact apartments. Our company has created an extensive collection of terrariums, and containers with succulents, cacti, and air plants that are easily maintained, yet provide a natural element to the space. Cities such as New York, Chicago, and Boston are heavily populated by people living in small housing with limited storage, square-footage, and natural light, so we designed products that sit on window sills and shelves as well as others that can be suspended from the ceiling and hung on the walls. We believe that style should never be compromised under any circumstance, so everything we sell has been meticulously crafted to complement your decor and your personal style.

EDUCATE YOURSELF In botany, succulent plants, also known as succulents or sometimes fat plants, are plants having some parts that are more than normally thickened and fleshy, usually to retain water in arid climates or soil conditions. Succulent plants may store water in various structures, such as leaves and stems. Some definitions also include roots, so that geophytes that survive unfavorable periods by dying back to underground storage organs may be regarded as succulents. In horticultural use, the term “succulent� is often used in a way which excludes plants that botanists would regard as succulents, such as cacti. Succulents are often grown as ornamental plants because of their striking appearance.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW The history and the origin of succulents is vague and there is very little recorded information on the subject. Over the course of European colonization, there are reports of the hearty plants being relocated from South and Central America, South Africa, and the West Indies back to Spain, Holland, and England. West of Central London is the Royal Botanic Gardens, which is home to over one million unique species of plants and catalogued seeds. Reports indicate that early explorers brought succulents and cacti to England to the Gardens and the likelihood that the ancestors of these plants still existing there is high, although it is impossible to know for certain as the records do not exist.
