Succulent Dish Garden

Lovely. I may try one of those, inside.

I think it was an interview with Martha Stewart that I saw a big birdbath turned into such a project for indoors. It was a beautiful addition to the room.

Birdbaths or fountains…. but those are darn heavy to haul around. pot saucers are way lighter ;-)

yah, I think you would have to have “the” spot for something big like that in your house :)

Nice! I started one too but it doesn’t look as nice as yours. I’ll have to find something more interesting to put it in

What is the name of the one with the yellow/red blooms? I have one of those too but I don’t know the name of it. It is blooming now for me.

Those look really nice. I can see a grouping of cacti plantings, tucked into a sunny, hot corner where you might have trouble growing other flowers. Excellent Idea, G_T.

daltxguy, the one flowering orange in the top picture is Echeveria minima.

glad you like the idea :)
For me it got a bit out of hand, I have 20 or so by now and what a chore to haul them under cover when the Summer rains are starting….

What a nice looking arrangement you have there.Well done.

wouldn’t it be easier to design a cover? (instead of hauling them all inside)

Florida summer rains are torrential. it would have to be a complete cover and that would suffocate them, I would think.

I’m too lazy to be hauling – I’d be figuring out a backup plan – even if it used as much energy as the hauling haha A Psychological thing

Mine sit outside year round and we get plenty of rain – 6ft/year. I would think as long as they are in well draining soil/gravel or containers and in a sunny place ( when it’s not raining), that letting them get soaked wouldn’t matter?

G_T – thanks for the info – that’s it! ( I keep that one outside in the rain too, btw)

glad I could be of help. and good for you that you are able to keep them outside :-)

I might try a succulent topiary – saw one in a gardening magazine. Yours are lovely.
