Succulents have cast their spell over us! As soon as they showed up in our nursery greenhouse, we on the staff started taking our breaks at the succulent tables. First we were excited by the rainbow of colors of these unusual plants that store water.

Then we focused on one plant at a time, marveling at the leaf forms.

Then we went on a buying frenzy and at the end of the work day employees were seen carrying boxes of succulents out to their cars. We took them home and made succulent container gardens. Lithops "living rocks" are a fun container plant.
In addition to plants, pick up some unique pots to spark your creativity. It's easy to make a low-water, container garden that is uniquely yours.
In our video Tricia makes a succulent container garden -- an indoor container of tender plants for gardeners in any climate. In warm weather take those succulents outside and put them in filtered sun.
