Serse, we cross posted.
I absolutely love that light fixture planter, and the arrangement of plants. Their colors are so pleasing, especially with the backdrop of the tiny stones.

Light Fixture is a great idea.
Ohh Dear I hope Ogon survives here.

It should Jo Ann. Just give it good drainage, like you already do for all your plants. Maybe course sand mixed in the potting mix? And they love leave mold.

Yes, Serse. Only thing better than buyng succulents is finding a container that makes the succulents look even better.

I can see that I'm going to have to hit the thrift shops. Thank you serse. As if I don't have enough trouble with my plant addition.

Serse very cool!! Lynn...just maintain, and think about all those little pots in your garage! Light fixtures can wait!!
Jo Ann - is your ground unfrozen and workable right now? I have a sis in Syracuse and she said her area is still frozen, so just curious!

Here are a couple succulent photos from my home, didn't edit them so apologies if poor quality


Mostly blurry but you get the idea of how packed I make my planter! And I do like using shallow dishes!

Greg second pic, left, center round juicy sparkly green leaves what is the name? I have it somewhere. Let me try and find it today.

Arif.

Your planters look a lot like mine, greg! Packed with as many as I could fit

Serse!
Arif I'm not good with names, I'm pretty sure its a type of graptoveria?? Its very easy to grow, and I know they're easy to locate here in the states (so I'm assuming they're readily available all over) It stays low also, which I like that! Sorry couldn't be more helpful!

Greg, Pics are clear as bells...pleasantly surprised that you are indoor container nut too! Thanks for sharing! Juciy leaves on 2nd picture left not sedum pork and beans (indoor version)?

You mean next to my little tiny minuscule aeonium with only 2 stalks?? Arif asked about that too, maybe someone can ID it, I think it is some form of graptoveria but don't know cultivar, but it does look like it could be a graptosedaveria (made up that name!)

Not the Graptowhatever but below it. Those round juicy tear drop shaped,

Maybe these might draw eyes to yours. Something like these and these are Sedums in the wild. I think Bev has it correct.
Regards,
Arif.

Yes the teardrop shaped thing is a sedum "jelly bean" or something like that! Then there is the little shiny green thing that is above the Jelly bean, and that is a mix of sedum and something else, and is a very cool plant, its not round like jelly bean, but flat, and it grows offshoots from any part of the plant so it can get very full! Both are fun plants! I thought you were talking about the shiny light blue/green roundish shaped leaf, and that is some type of graptoveria... Wooh, did it! (I could be wrong! As Sharon says!)

gg5: It's frozen alright. The deer had plowed thru some supports and I cant straighten them.I'll just leave them til spring.

Anyone: I'm new to succulents and want to know what you do with them when they are overgrown and lanky.?

Nothing, just chop of the good bushy part and grow it independently. The leggy stub if long enough can be cut and grown as a cutting while the bottom part left will sprout with more cute babies . Depends upon how many you want.

Broken leaves can be dumped on the soil and unless you plan to open a nursery, few should sprout. If you are planning to open a nursery then there are more complications involved.
I know I am heartless and they are out there in the cold
Regards,
Arif.

Thanks Arif.I like the compact look of the new plants and wanted to be able to maintain the look.I have a lanky coteldon now that I didnt want to trim in case it just branched at the cut.
This image is from the net not mine.

Nice photos Arif and good advice! Jo Ann I don't know much about cotyledons...I always forget they tend to have big rhizomatous roots...which reminds me, I had a lovely sinningia and forgot that it had a root like a potato, so when I went to transplant it the whole top part broke off leaving the bulbous root - grrr! Anyway, being the plant person that I am I put the top in soil and kept watering the root, so now a month later its looking okay! Another year and I should have two plants like the parent! Here are some photos!
Parent plant in December before I murdered it

Baby plants today! 2/1/2013 (by the way on a different post I was told since its Feb we have to use hearts! )

Now I have 2 plants and it looks like I could split this one growing from the leaf!
Meanwhile good luck with deciding what to do with your plant Jo Ann (personally I'd say "go for it!" but use a sharp knife, not scissors!) If the plants are like other succulents then you'll have 2 plants!

Someone gave it to me.I have no idea how to treat it.

Greg you forgot about the leaves that will fall or shed of during handling. Jo Ann lay the leaves on the soil you may end up with , Oh, so pretty, how cute little babies, oh my my .
Greg you are incorrigible and contagious
Regards,
Arif.
