Now I need to find replacement solar fairy lights!

Amazon has them but a little bit pricey for me. These are just from the Dollar Tree.

Yes Amazon has the solar light of every possibility.
And a fav I use during summers adding solar fountains for birds butterflies I put them out everywhere. Really add a lot of movement in the garden .

I have a bunch of water garden pots... need to get some solar pumps, just little ones since I want the water to stay in the 20" pot. Nice idea!

Saw this posted in the humor thread in the sandbox forum:

My potted cactus died.
I am literally less nurturing than the desert.

Jill, it's hard to get a small enough squirt coming out of the pump. I started with a pretty melamine mixing bowl but ended up using a storage tub, and it was still not big enough. In the slightest breeze, some or most of the water lands outside of the tub. I ended up having to partially block the flow with rocks so it was gurgling but not going up into the air.

Good to know! I'll try one in my "pond" first then... it's about 3x4 feet, one of those rigid liners buried in the ground.

Would love to see them

I wish there were even smaller ones available. I'd like to put a water wheel &/or waterfall in a mini garden, but the smallest ones I could find are much too powerful for that when the sun is shining right on the solar panel.

Depending on how mini the garden the garden could be adjusted to the size of the tiny water pump display, once accessed and allowed for volume of water height and depth. I have used them in a bowl 12", or even fog pumps are adjustable like the tiny water pumps.
It may work if the water fall design is tailored around the size of a water fall the tiny pump produces. They are adjustable by volume of the flow needed. And High/low ..adjustments.

I just posted in the other forum succlents and cactus.See pics of my tiny pumps and size.

Thank you. : ) That looks like or similar to what I have, the smallest ones available that I could find.

Finally had a chance to redo my mini-garden. The previous year's succulents have gotten big so now they are on their individual pots.

Here's a new this year:
My large rectangle plante


My boat planters




The 2 smaller rectangle planters got repurposed:

Plant Combination by GigiAdeniumPlumeria

I included 3 sedeveria baby offsets so I can compare how slow growing these are compared to the California Sunset.

Update, not getting enough sun so California Sunset turned green but still looking good!
