What is the longest living succulent?

The longest-living succulent is likely the Welwitschia mirabilis, which is native to the deserts of Namibia and Angola. Though it doesn’t look like a typical succulent, it is a fascinating plant that can live for over 1,000 to 2,000 years! Some specimens are estimated to be as old as 3,000 years.

If you’re thinking about more traditional succulents, Aloe vera, Jade plants (Crassula ovata), and Echeverias can live for decades with proper care. Jade plants, for instance, are known to thrive for 50 to 100 years, making them a favorite for passing down through generations.
