Update on succulents in cinder blocks!
Many of you remember when I made this little cinder block succulent garden on my back slab. It is in partial shade, and most of these babies have never lived a happier life! The gasteria (none shown here) are sadish looking. I think they may need more water. I am only hand watering them about once a month. The soil retention inside the blocks is pretty darn good...only a couple have sunken down to where I need to add a few inches. Not bad considering it has been at least 6 months. Here are a few pics for your enjoyment!
Your succulents all look so healthy and well cared for. They sure like the cinder blocks. Great pictures too Julie. Thanks for sharing with us :)
ReplyDeleteI love these colors! What a great idea Julie, you've inspired me!!!!! Hope your day is great!
ReplyDeleteYour succulents are gorgeous. I love the colors. You are so lucky you can leave them outside all year.

ReplyDeleteThey look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Julie,
ReplyDeleteYour succulents look beautiful and they do look very happy. A nice way to plant them.
I've been very busy in the garden. I had to take out one of my tomato plants. : ( I think I have too many things growing in a small area and not enough circulation. The little hydrangea has grown more leaves and I do have to be careful now that the days are hotter.
Have a wonderful day
Blessings,

What a delightful collection of succulents, I love the variety of shapes and colors! Great idea to grow them in cinder blocks. :)
ReplyDeleteGood morning Julie,
ReplyDeleteyes these look pretty healthy to me. I have some of them and dont water them very often either and they survive too. I have some of these at the farm.
I love your cinder-block succulents, Julie! I have one of the Kalanchoe Flapjack succulents in a larger pot and I love it to bits!
