Succulents don't like sitting in waterlogged soil so a glass container or terrarium that doesn't allow for water to drain is unlikely to make them happy. You can give succulents some relief by lightly spraying them with water, but they will not thrive if they are left to dry out. Know that succulents are capable of going dormant for a time, so they won't require as many water. The plant's growth cycle depends on the amount of light, so monkey tail cactus will often go into dormancy in fall or winter.

I also demonstrate how to restore a garden bed that has been dominated by aeoniums in a video called How to Refresh a Overgrown, Succulent Garden. In this new video, I show how to do this while holding my iPhone in my left hand and doing everything else with my right. These are just a few of the amazing specimens he has to offer, and they will be changing constantly. I thank you for your comments and suggestions on my YouTube channel. Before we get on to the good stuff. It is a good idea, even if you plant it outside, to keep your Fred Ives succulent inside. Our plant died after this process.
