It looks nice, but I have seen some of my columnar cacti get mushy quite quickly when the container is too deep and wide, so I end up chopping them off to save the plant. I would use more compact containers, their roots are shallow anyways. It is good to see the plants are elevated on gravel, so water won't puddle.

Now if that area gets sunny and is totally protected from much rain I'd say it is really pretty Smiling
