Succulent Garden

September 11, 2014 by Barb

This summer, my succulent garden was so beautiful! The problem is, how am I going to save parts of it? In photos only? I think not! I have to start formulating plan.

Do I bring the container into the house, or do I try to propagate instead? Some will be easier than others. I’d really hate to chop this little beauty into pieces.

This one either …

I could probably root some stems of this one since most have tiny root hairs showing already.

Propagating is really quite easy. I found a great page on Pinterest on exactly this subject. These plants want to multiply, there is no doubt about it!

I’m definitely going to be saving this gorgeous rosette.

I love the colour of this one and the sharp bright tips. I don’t know the names of most but once I start propagating, I’m going to try to identify them.

We had a hard frost last night but I was prepared. I either brought in the house, or covered, all the plants that I want to save and I’m very glad that I did since the coverings are all white and crispy this morning.  Today I must get busy and start my plan of attack.

I found a real treasure this week but I couldn’t get a post together in time. I want to do it right so it will have to wait.

I’m going to be sending out weekly newsletters and if you are interested check out this post here. The signup box is on the sidebar … I’d love to have you join me!

Have a wonderful Friday and thank you for stopping by!

    We bring them in AND propagate.
    Sometimes, the original plant does not make it, and sometimes a propagation does not make it, but we’ve always had one or the other pull through, and in that way have never lost one.

    These are really lovely, Barb.

    All too pretty to lose…hope your attempts are successful Barb. I especially love the top one too, but they are all pretty and interesting designs. I have a small one that I’ve kept in a west window and it has grown an inch or so this summer…it must like that place and it isn’t large or intrusive. Looking forward to your special post!

    Your succulents are beautiful! I love the one in the spoon. I brought a potted palm tree in my house one winter to save it, I also saved a whole bunch of caterpillars. Live and learn. :)

    Will the ones that stay outside not survive the winter?

    Succulents are so fun to photograph and definitely worth saving.

    These are beautiful! I love the shapes and textures of succulents, but I don’t grow them very well. I think I over water them!

Welcome! I'm Barb, and this is where I practice my mantra to "learn something new, try something different". It's my hope that something I do here may inspire you! Read More…
