Homefront: Succulent Succulents


My husband was given this lovely one pot succulent garden a few months ago for his new office. It was so cute and managable then and has happily thrived in front of a very sunny window. Boy do these things grow fast! I'm not used to it, since I usually kill most plants within a month or so.


Wanting a succulent garden of my own, I purchased cuttings from matilda mae. While they haven't even arrived here yet, the hubs brought home his succulent garden for some repotting and all that jazz.


Now, I am going to have all of these cute little succulents again, and I have this beast of a garden to figure out what to do with. I'll be sending it back to my husband's work, but no doubt some of it will have to stay here.


So, wonderful people, WHAT am I supposed to do with these... and more importantly, HOW! Can I still leave some in one pot, or will they all need to be separated in their own pots?


The little ones, maybe I can put in a terrarium (following these directions here), but the larger ones... do they need pruning (one has a dried up flower on top)... ? How much bigger will they get? Maybe I'll give some cuttings away... I suppose I'll need to figure out how to do that! I know google is my friend, but so is practical advice. (Thanks Julie, I'll be reading you blog, A Succulent Life for tips!)
