With my recent budding collection of succulents and cacti, I was inspired to combine a few of my specimens into a miniature desert landscape that could be set into my garden for the summer. Of course, right after putting it out, we have been blasted by daily summer storms which have saturated even this container’s well-drained media. I fear for my cacti’s longevity, but I also feel that if they can’t survive outside for the summer then perhaps they aren’t meant to be in my collection. I really am not a fan of “house plants” except in winter when only my most prized plants retreat inside from the cold. This container will make the cut if it can make it through the rain!
In this container are: Agave victoriae-regina (Queen Victoria Agave), Mammillaria fragilis (Thimble Cactus), Myrtillocactus geometrizans (Blue Candle Cactus), Kalanchoe luciae (Paddle Plant), Echeveria ‘Red Trump’ (Ruffled Echeveria), and Echeveria ‘Topsy Turvy’
