TYVM! The Lithops, I just don't ever water near those. If the roots want moisture, they can find it in there generally. If not, they should be safe that way, I guess. It's my first crack at these. I hope it's dry enough, I haven't watered that planter for a few weeks & have a sheet over it today to make sure the rain doesn't get on it. A few cold nights coming up! Wish I could run electricity out there for an aquarium heater or Christmas lights. There's a tub of water under it but if the sun doesn't come out, it can't get warmed up. I'll probably add a lobster pot of boiling water to it tomorrow evening, 23 is lower than any temp all winter last year. Sheesh!
Instead of trying to do 'a scene' that's beyond my comprehension of how to create it, with all of the tiny accessories/decorations, I think I'm going to stick a few in planters & start enjoying them that way. Other people's pics are inspiring & helpful, but who else feels lost meshing tiny stuff with tiny plants? Maybe less is more, where I'm trying to do too much from the jump start?
