Upside down succulents. Last night I went over a friends place He was showing me his little cacti collection and he showed me a 30cm long section he had planted last year- he was worried he had put it in upside down. Bend down the sides of the second wire so that this also forms an upside-down U. Besides the succulent plant representative species like the Jade Plant Burros Tail Echeveria Elegans Snake Plant and Aloe Vera here are over 1000 types of succulents with pictures for succulent identification separated by their genera.
Remove the plant from the container by loosening the soil on the sides of the pot. Whatever the name the lovely alabaster upside down leaves make this a memorable plant and luckily for beginner growers easy to cultivate. This round succulent hanging planter looks striking hanging from a tree branch pergola beam or from the top of an arbor.
Turn it upside down fill it with soil cover the whole thing with a gardening cloth tied well and stick some trailing succulents in the middle of its bottom. Turn the right way up and hang from the trellis or porch ceiling. 1 Place the contents of a 100-cubic-inch bag of sphagnum moss and an 8.
Water frequently and keep upside-down in a shady spot. Clear the soil off of the roots of the succulent and any dead leaves should be removed. Once dried fill the jar 34 full with cactussucculent soil.
You may need to loosen the soil on the sides if it is tight in the pot. Gently remove the plant from its container. The size of the plant is ultimately 15cm 6 across and up to 10cm 4 high with long flower sprays in the fall up to 20cm 8 tall embellished with lovely peach coloured dangling bell shaped blooms.
Avoid grabbing the plant instead tilt the pot to the side and gently pull the plant out. Add in a couple of small succulents and a few pieces of moss or decorative rocks. Then rotate the flower one quarter-turn and insert a second wire perpendicular to the first wire so that the two wires form a cross at the base of the succulent.
