Succulents

Succulents are fascinating plants. They are like cacti without the spines, which is good for me because I don't have to watch my mum every time she walks in my room. (She always thinks cacti look soft, not prickly. and wants to touch them.) They don't require copious amounts of water, another plus because I always forget. And they are intriguing to look at. 

I have been growing succulents for about 18 months and I find them captivating. I started out with only one Split Rock(Pleiospilos nelii) and one Hens and Chicks. However my Split Rock died recently. So my mother and I went to Lowe's because she needed some fillers for her gardens outside and I needed new succulents. 

In this pot I have a Split Rock in the middle, and starting from the front and going around to the right is a Sand Rose(Anacompseros rufescent), a Hen and Chicks, Baby Toes(Fenestraria aurantiaca), another Sand Rose, and the last in this pot is the Stone Faces(Lithops species). 

In this pot I have a Split Rock, Baby Toes, and Stone Faces int the front. In the back I have a Kalanchoe Houghton's Hybrid. I'm really hoping that it will survive. It wasn't root bound when I got it and that seems to an essential part to its survival. So we put a root mix in its dirt and we will see how it goes!
