I used my old fire pit to create this beautiful succulent bed and added a few details to make it interesting. The bear was a toilet brush holder and now it's a place for succulents to grow.
I punched holds in the bottom to ensure proper drainage and added rich dirt. Place under tree because succulents love shade. Also, succulents requires little maintenance.
@Susan, Leida has company so her time is limited :) I miss her too!
IF I were using potting soil I would add sand as well....and lots of it. half and half.
also, mine come back whether they are in the ground or in pots :) it doesn't seem to matter.
Sharron... I can't say anything about other succulents because I've only grown chicks and hens so far.
