Hi container gardening friends! I wanted to alert you to a contest my publisher is having to give away a free copy of my book, a special pallet garden collection of seeds, and a Woolly Pocket. The winner will be armed with the supplies needed to take on several projects described in my book! Click right here to find out how to enter.

People often ask, “Can you really cram succulents in there like that? Won’t they quickly out grow the arrangement?” Well…
The image above is two shots of the exact same container. The photo on the left was taken in July of 2008 and the photo on the right is from just a week or two ago. I think after 3 1/2 years, it is finally time to replant the pot and divide up that Paddle Plant (Kalanchoe luciae ‘Flapjacks’)!
So, I guess my answer to the original question is, yes, the succulents will eventually outgrow the arrangement, but it won’t be for quite some time, even years.
