Second succulent community pot

I think it was two years ago that I took one longer pot and I planted few succulents there. Just to see if they like it, if I like it and how they will grow with time.
And I freaking love it!
Maybe they do not grow to the size they could, but I like that they are more compact and the pot is filled with different colours and shapes.

Last week I decided to make another one of those. I ditched old Crassula Tetragona from the pot (she will go to a different one soon), filled with with sand and soil, picked up all those little plants and cutting I had no idea what to do with and they just didn't look too cool on their own and planted them up.

Why do I pot them like that? Few reasons:

• I don't have to water all those tiny pots separately which can be a pain in the ass
• one large pot is easier to water :)
• easier to move around
• looks damn cool
• takes less space

I have no idea what most of them are. Some are cuttings from my larger plants. Most grew from a leaf I picked up here and there.

This one here looks a bit miserable. It didn't like the spot she was standing before. Hope now it will grow better. I don't know what it is, nor will it keep the cool red colour.





The first two below are parts of my larger plants. They should look nice all together now.
All the little ones are young seedlings that I grew from leaves.

This is now they all are now.
I will try to remember to take similar shot every few weeks to see the progress.





And this is the previous pot. I did show it last year already.
The dark middle plant is still my favourite!





That small Echeveria runyonii on the left side is looking a bit weird. It should be pale blue, not so yellow. I have more of them so I am not worried and they do propagate from a leaf very easily. I am just wondering what happened to her.

And those long Jelly Bean Sedum stems I will probably trim a bit. I start to kick the longest stems and they keep dropping the leaves.

The other plants look amazing though!





Both pots:





Of course my Furry Assistant always on duty :)

I mentioned I evicted poor Crassula Tetragona from her pot. She didn't look too good lately so it was time to renew it anyway. I got some young cuttings and how she is waiting. Together with two other victims.

Crassula Perforata was growing together with Tetragon so had to be kicked too. They will be planted together again.

Kalachoe Lucky Bells was very unlucky and got terrible aphids attack. I thought they were just on the flowers, but when I went to cut them off after blooming I noticed the buggers are all over the plant. I cut those few stems that seemed the cleanest, washed them and will plant soon. The rest went tright into a bag together with soil and off to the garbage bin. It was a shame though... the plant was about 80 cm tall with multiple mature stems and some offshoots growing.





Kitty on duty again.
Everything must be checked and approved.
