Ornamental succulents store water in their tissues, allowing them to thrive in drought conditions. They are valuable economically and environmentally, fitting well with eco-friendly designs like indoor spaces. However, their slow growth makes them vulnerable to overcollection and trafficking. Tissue culture can aid in their propagation while genetic transformation may enhance traits such as drought and salinity resistance and boost the synthesis of valuable compounds. By highlighting successful micropropagation examples, we aim to motivate universities and companies to invest in these plants. © CAB International 2025.
