Are Lichen considered a succulent?🤔  
Just cleaned up my garden today and brought in the plants for winter. I didn’t forget the lichens I found after a big storm back in June. They got a prime spot on my porch next to the screen. Lol

I’m going to include some moss to keep the humidity higher and I mixed in some charcoal to the substrate. I’ve studied them a bit but this is my first time with one, and I have 2 specimens. I love how ancient they are in time. They fascinate me with their simplicity
