Succulents

IMG_8465

Growing up in South Texas in ranching country,

I avoided cactus as much as possible.


Today, in my world of gardening that gives me such

back breaking,

frustrating

PLEASURE,

I have fallen in love with succulents.

I enjoyed succulents last spring,

planting them in

antique Mexican pottery.

I won’t be planting anything in this piece, however.

I love it too much to hide it.

Find an interesting container and head to Wal Mart or Home Depot.

The investment is small-

$2.50-$4.00.

It can all be assembled in minutes,

(using cactus/palm potting soil)

and the beauty of succulents is

they don’t mind being

ignored.

It’s fun.

    Laura - you had me at succulents. :)

    I love planting them in unusual containers too. one of my fave is a pair of my Dad's old work boots. I cut the toe from one boot and they are growing out of the toe and spilling out of the top. Thanks for sharing. Blessings, Barb

    In addition to a Christmas cactus I inherited from my mom I also got a couple of little cacti. Can't kill the things even though there is nothing desert like here in Minnesota.

    Okay oh wise one. I want to plant some of these in fish bowls for the show. What do I need to do and can I assemble them in a tent in the middle of a cow pasture...with junk for tools?

    Looks good, Laura! I have never really grown succulents. My Mom used to have Hens&Chickens (?) I think they were called. She also had a huge Christmas cactus! xo Diana
