bring it inside

Good luck !

I love this. How did you make? I know this does not answer the question....but it is so cute.

Where do you live? Here near Philly, just leave it outside. looks like you have mostly perennial sedum from what I see. It will most likely need to be thinned out next spring, but what you pull out can be transplanted in the garden or another container. The ground is a perfect insulator. You can cover it if you wish with leaves to protect it further- but I think you'll be fine. We winter over sedum and perennial succulents all the time.

I am thinking bringing it indoors isnt a solution, can anyone give suggestions on how to keep it alive without moving it. We are thinking putting a plastic dome made from pvc pipes on ours but dont know if that will be enough. Saw a blanket for plants at lowes might add thatnto the dome

I created one this summer using the rootball of a tree and inquired the same with my former horticulture professor. She advised to pack around it with leaves and cover it up with pine boughs so that would be my same suggestion to you. I can't move mine since it took two men to lift it originally but yours is small enough that you could tuck it somewhere outside but in a micro-climate like the side of a garage or on a patio up against the foundation, then cover it up. I'm in Buffalo, NY so our winters are similar. I roll my urns filled with perennial but invasive if planted in the ground herbs over to the side of my garage and pack the leaves from my neighbor's tree around them. They come back each spring.

I bring mine indoors and it lives in my bathroom all winter under the skylight.

I just place the containers of succulents in a sheltered location next to the house and I cover with dried leaves. In the Spring I uncover it and bring it back into the sun, it takes a week or two but it will start growing again soon.

Live in Maine and successfully winter my succulents outside protected with dried leaves,

fir boughs.

Im not sure if that should stay outside at all. I'm from Chicago and Ive had planters crack. Perhaps you should bring it inside or at least to the garage where the snow won't pil on it and the temperature isn't as cold. Whatever you decide to do, good luck! Btw it's beautifu!

I live in Saskatchewan, Canada. Our winters can be brutal, my succulents, mainly hens and chicks and sedums are left outdoors and do very well with the snow cover that we get. The more tender ones, I bring inside into the basement and keep them under grow lights with very little water, a sprinkle every couple of weeks.

I live in Texas, but I still have to bring mine in during the winter. Anything below freezing will kill most succulents.

I bring mine in the house. I have a place near a window where I put the lid from a large plastic tub. The plants go on that so I can water them without any problem.

They grow toward the window and look weirdif I don't rotate them, but I enjoy them year round that way.

I live in Michigan, and I have a lot of these in different pots. I wrap them in a white glad trash bag and leave them on the back steps. They have always survived....been doing this for years

I'm in MA. Those are succulents that will do fine outside over the winter. That said, the plants roots in that planter (looks like the rough side of a pot scrubbing sponge) won't be low enough to be protected by the earth. I suggest you dig a shallow hole, line with chopped leaves or landscape fabric (just to keep the soil from sticking to your turtle, to make cleanup easy in spring). Pack around the edges with leaves or the soil and leave it til spring. Shouldn't have to cover it. I have some succulents in a plant tray sitting on the ground, waiting to be planted since last summer. No cover, nothing! Lol

Put them in a window area to get bright light but not direct light. Carefully and infrequently apply water. They will rot if soil is kept wet.

Thank you everyone!
