A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Plants and Flowers Forum Cacti and Succulents in the Garden cactus/ succulent arrangements and blooms

Ohhh man I posted this picture of the strawberry pot a couple of months ago and since the Iceplant has gotten Huge!! and the ckn and hens are putting off lots of babes!

a couple of months ago...



NOW>>>>



I'm scared to divide it out!!! But at the same time I know I shouldn't leave it in there and crowd it,, any suggestions??

also this cactus 'succulent arrangement I did a few months ago is really growing. I had to remove one already and put up in a seperate container,, the one in the middle has a couple of babies coming up from the bottom and the taller cactus are going to have to be removed before summer is over. Guesss I'd better start another arrangement for the larger ones and only put 3 maybe 4 of them in!


Also discovered this outside today!! Last year it bloomed on Easter Day, this year took longer but I looks like I'm going to have another bloom on it soon!

Ohhh Wow Triss that area will be awesome when it totally fills in! Is that the area where you sent me the sedum from??

Great pictures of some very healthy looking plants, Diane and Triss.

Diane - what exposure are your pots in?
Do you feed those plants? Bring them in for winter?
I have several succulents indoors, but only 1 pot goes outside for summer. I do find that they do more growing indoors this time of year, and do not grow at all when they are outdoors - wonder why?

I really like the color combinations of your strawberry pot and the succulents planted in it - they set each other off very nicely!!!

Lynne both container arrangements are in full sun morning dappled shade afternoon and yes I will bring those in in the winter. The flowering cactus in the terracotta pot stays out all year ~ in the winter I just bring it up next to the house on the south side ~ Right now it gets full sun all day.

hey.I got a cactis thing in the mail today.The one I felt in box looks like the pink bloomer.I guess I'm sticking them in the trough with the donkey ear prickly pear.

I weeded my cacti bed today.Removed my tequila agave to a better spot.I hope my dog enjoys running into it.Hopefully he gets the HINT.

njoynit, does this mean you got my box?

Yes you did Send me Ckn and hens They really love it here I put three of the ones you sent in ground

Soo I have you allllll over my yard now!!! mosst of the sedum you sent went in the rock tower and One piece of it in the strawberrie pot Remember the varigated rosette varitey you sent I LOVEEEE that one It hasn't grown much I'm thinking it must have taken a while to root BUt it's steadfast now!!! I've looked at nurserys here for it And NOONE has it here sooo thank you again!!!!
