Replanted My Little Cactuses


Brought a tiny glass container from Michael's crafts store the other day.  It was on sale for $1.79.  I'm not sure how much the original price for but I thought it was just too cute to not buy.   

I had these tiny little cactuses that used to be in two small terracotta pots and I decided to put them all together.

 
Bottom of the vase/container I used dark pebbles. These pebbles were purchased at Ikea a while back. There is a layer of moss. And then finally I added some potting soil. I lined them all up from big to small. And I decided to play three white pebbles in back of these cactuses to add some color. I love it! What do you guys think?
Any anyone know what kind of cactuses are these? I forgot the names of them.

My Hens and Chicks Getting Eaten


It's been a while since something has gotten into my succulent's containers. I thought it was the end of it. I'm not going to have to deal with pest or animals anymore. Well....I guess I was wrong. This must be a big animal. It's the first time I seen my succulents half way eaten. :( Something has been chomping down on my plants that I don't have many left in this hypertufa container anymore.

Echeveria 'Black Prince' Bloomed


My Black Prince had finally bloomed. The flowers are red and they are just beautiful.

Due to the frost and cold days we are now having in New England my Echeverias and other succulents are now currently indoors. And once I got my Black Prince indoors that is when it started to bloom.

I heard that now that my Black Prince is indoors it’s not going to get as much sunlight as before...and it might turn the color green. I'm excited to see how that would turn out. I will keep you guys all updated.
