You are right, the succulents I have don't require a lot of work. I don't know what zone Tampa is but we don't get freezing temp. My DH just bought me another boat ceramic container (light blue), a faux log and the faux stone planters, they are perfect for succulents. All 50% off from JoAnn fabrics. I will post pix in your succulent container 2013 thread in the future, when they are no longer empty :).
