The plant choice for the garden definitely features succulents, but Cindy has also included plants that will attract birds, bees and butterflies, like this milkweed. For one, it is not a natural desert dweller like the rest. Cindy is also great at keeping things natural and organic and has included a grow box full of greens that can easily be picked and eaten.

Keep an eye on your succulents for signs that indicate insect infestations. Use natural pesticides when necessary to remove the infestation. This is the right place for you if you are looking to grow succulents without putting in a lot of effort. However, I made a few mistakes when planting it and most of the succulents burned up and died. I hope this gives you some insight into the difficulties that can arise when planting in a shallow container. You should consider adding nutrients to your watering program every three or four month. It is a good idea to obtain cuttings from healthy looking plants with plump leaves, not dehydrated or stressed plants. But with this good look, comes the grueling task of having to deal with the thorns, or rather spines as they're usually referred to in botanical circles.

Cacti plants are synonymous with spines. All succulent and cacti plant types require the same watering practices. Cacti are usually planted in pots, then put in the ground. This helps to keep them contained and small. Because I had them in similar soil elsewhere in my yard, I knew this soil would work well for succulents. There are many options, but it is important to remember that safety is the main priority. A pH slightly higher than 6.0 is necessary for soil. The species can thrive in acidic conditions.

I had already removed most of the succulents, but kept any that were still viable. I then added a "river", a mix of rocks and succulents (still cold-hardy Sempervivums, and Sedums), to the top. This was exactly as in my original post. Crab Cactus (Thanksgiving Cactus) is not suited for areas that have frost in the winter times but does like cooler weather during the winter months. Plant succulents in spring when it is cooler, so they can adjust before the summer heat hits. Keep in mind, however, that not all birdbaths will experience this problem. This is especially true if the baths are in the shade or in a larger area. And if all the birdhouses, bird baths and miniatures aren't enough, she even has a cute "trash can" that doubles as decor. The plant is extremely durable and can keep its green leaves even in harsh growing conditions. They aren't bothered much by the heat and full sun.
