Succulents affect building foundations if they are planted too closely to the foundation. They can grow under the foundation causing instability.
Yes, you can successfully grow succulents from leaves by propagating them.
Succulents have adapted to survive in the desert by storing water in their fleshy leaves, stems, or roots. This allows them to withstand long periods of drought by using the stored water when needed. Additionally, their thick waxy coating reduces water loss through evaporation.
Those plants that are able to store water during times of plenty - succulents, such as cacti - do well in the desert as well as plants with a long taproot that can reach moisture deep below the surface.
To propagate succulents from leaves, gently twist a healthy leaf from the stem and let it callus over for a few days. Then, place the leaf on top of well-draining soil and mist it lightly. Keep the soil slightly moist and in indirect sunlight until roots and new growth appear.
In arid regions, vegetation typically consists of plants adapted to low water availability, such as succulents (like cacti and agave), shrubs (like sagebrush and creosote bush), and grasses (like bunchgrasses and needlegrasses). These plants have developed specialized features to conserve water, such as deep root systems, waxy coatings, and reduced leaf surface area.
Foundations.
Salmon is the best
Firm ground not suffering from shrinkage or expansion. Rock is the firmest. Sandy ground will require piled foundations. Clay will require investigation into shrinkage with the seasons. Avoid building near tall trees - especially poplars that have large root networks that can affect the foundations over time.
According to soil condition, load, environmental conditions we need different types of foundations.......
All cacti are succulents, but not all succulents are cacti.

Water can damage the foundations of a house and they can suffer badly from the effects if they are made of concrete. While water damage to carpets and furniture is a pain, foundations that has been damaged by standing water can be a big problem as it can affect the structure of the building. This damage caused by flooding can not only weaken the foundations but in the worst cases, potentially cause the house to become unstable.

The most common types of foundations used in black cotton soil in Addis Ababa are raft foundations and pile foundations. Raft foundations distribute the building loads over a larger area to prevent differential settlement on the compressible soil. Pile foundations are used to transfer building loads to deeper, more stable layers of soil, bypassing the weak black cotton soil.

The most commonly appearing house foundation material is concrete. There are many variants of concrete foundations such as concrete blocks or insulated concrete.
