Pulling Out Succulents

I planted succulents in the square around the front garden taps and the amount of rain and lack of sunshine is worrying me. At the time I thought it was a good idea to plant succulents there because it's facing North and gets a lot of sun but so far it's a lot of rain and no sun.

I loved the succulents I bought but when it was planted I couldn't help asking myself.. "Is this what I had in mind..? really..?" I think the types of succulents I bought are totally wrong.. Maybe I should go for something that grows to be more bushy that will cover the ugly water meters...


However making that change means pulling out the existing plants.. To start with I pulled out the tiny succulent on the right corner. Can't remember what it was called. I think it had a tag saying rainbow succulent. I should really keep these tags (Mental note "keep the tags that comes with the plant").


When I plated the succulent in the square the roots broke off and I just stuck the stem in the soil. When I pulled it out I was really happy to see some roots growing.. so cool!



The rainbow succulent is planted in a little clay pot and sitting next to my living rock in the window sill of my study. It's such a pretty little thing. Love it!
