Why does the Namaqualand Desert have so many types of succulents? Due to the special geographical environment, it faces the Cape of Good Hope to the south and the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the flow of water vapor during the rainy season, the Namaqualand Desert has been foggy for at least 5 months a year, so even if it does not rain , succulents in the Namaqualand Desert can also grow freely.
