The good news? Succulent roots can be easily removed. The base expands when there is water. Depending on the species of the plant, the "pads", or the base, will expand.

Inland, trees and eaves offer important protection for tender succulents---something to consider at planting time. The best season to bloom is spring. Lampranthus Deltoides, one of the garden-andscape ice plants, is the best because it doesn’t have to bloom in order to be ornamental. To add, ice plant once belonged to the genus Mesembryanthemum.

Lampranthus Lemon' is the exception, as it blooms on and off throughout all of the year. Aphids, a type of insect that can infect Euphorbia's yellow-leafed plants and cause wilting branches, are one example.

These pots are good for plants that like dry soils but extra watering may be needed to prevent plants from drying out completely. Ironically, pruning aloe vera vera plants are one of the most popular succulent plants out there. Portulacaria afra plants are easy to grow and propagate. I have been caring for them for years.
