I have fallen in love with suculents over the past few
years. I remember my Grandmother growing many types of suculents in
pots in her backyard. I never though much of them until we were given a
number of suculent plants by some dear friends who were avid
gardeners. They were relocating, and just could not transport every
plant they owned. We were the happy recipients of many of their
orphans, including many suculents. We have found that our friend
George was quite right when he said "You can't kill them, just stick
them in the soil and they will root." They need water, but not much.
They need a bit of protection from the freezing temps, but other than
that they are hearty and beautiful. They come in all shapes, sizes and
textures and can be grown in just about anything- any pot, or cup, or
even directly in the ground. These plants are perfect for someone, like
myself, who doesn't have a "brown thumb", but doesn't exactly have a
"green" one either. At least Green is my favorite color!
