This is not my sort of thing, really, but I had the broken pot and had seen photos of plantings using them so I did one late last summer. At the least it gives me an appreciation for the effort that goes into creating and maintaining one. I had it out of the garage yesterday to give it some water and light. I water it using a mister attachment. I'm afraid my usual drenching method would wash out the soil and my other method of dunking the whole pot has to be done very carefully with the container on its side. That latter may get even harder as the plants grow. I tried to use plants that didn't need water too often. I think some sempervivums might work, but I didn't have any extra to use at the time. The squirrels have chewed on some of the sedum and the Portulacaria afra. Hopefully this spring they will begin to recover with some new growth. Two views.
