    I have a place in my cottage garden that receive 8+ of full sun , so i suggested to plant a succulent garden there , but on my great surprise i realised that most of them had problem with full sun all day!….i asked a gardener who sells plants and told me that they prefer to keep succulents inside nursery in summer , and out when sun is not so strong after summer!…(notice i live in 10a zone Athens Greece)…..so, what do you think? can't i have my succulent garden in summer ,as that is the period i am mostly in my cottage..

    Lovely garden, great inspiration for a succulent design. I'm wondering what the clumping of pale green plants that look about 1ft high are…Caralluma perhaps or some sort of Euphorbia? I'd love to know so I could try to source some for my garden

    I am collecting succulents and I want to create a succulent garden, but my biggest fear is to lose them all during rainy times. I live in Cali, Colombia, usually very hot and dry, but we also have periods of two or three weeks raining every day, after a couple of months with no rain. I'm thinking of digging deep wholes and them fill them up with soil with lots of sand and perlite and plant them there… I hope I won't lose them. Especially because my uncle wants to hire me to make a Succulent and cactus garden for his country house.

    It all works. Cool and warm colors. The repeating geometries of plants, framed beds, and even the cast shadows. Exciting, yet serene. A satisfying paradox—garden defined.🌵

    Is there any proper care secret for KANGAROO PAWS..? Mine somehow always die, it's terrible. All the others I see around my city do just fine. 🙁

    It would be good to know in which part of which country, in which weather conditions you grow the garden. What are winter temperatures in Celcius?

    Funny I saw this video on succulent gardens and the first thing came to my mind was San Diego,SD is not hot they just do not have a lot of water.

    I have a baby Argentine Saguaro. It's a slow grower but it is tilting slight towards the sun. How can I frame this to give it support? Preferably something decorative that is functional. Is there such a thing?
