Succulent Log Update

(IC: homeowner)
I posted some garden photos a while back and the succulent log in one of the photos has now really taken off. From some small succulents planted up - they are now filling out to the point where I can pull some leaves off and make new plants. If you take the leaf off cleanly, leave it to dry for a few days, you will see little roots start to grow at the base of the leaf. Pop into some cacti potting mix (or mix some sand into your potting mix as it needs to be free draining) and you can multiply your plants. Give some away or swap with your friends and neighbours for some of their plants!
Enjoyed the project?

This is the kind of simple idea I would never be able to think of myself. Absolutely gorgeous!

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Now that your succulents have grown in what happens when they overgrow the log? Can succulents be divided?
Will they freeze
I'm making a succulent garden in a terrarium and I want to raise a couple of succulents so it creates an uneven look. Would it be better to place succulents on stacked rocks or cover a box with moss and place succulent in a carved out box?
