I may be on the wrong forum and if so just let me know. I was on Pintrest and found this photo. I also collect Fenton, milkglass and other bowls. I would love to plant something like this. So do I use a cacti mix? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Where can I find these plants and what are their names?

Thank you,
Teresa

The larger rosettes are echeveria, not sure what the cultivars are. I thing the others are Graptoveria. All tender succulants. Lots of times you can find them at Walmart, Home Depot.


Container needs a hole for drainage and cactus mix will work great. Nice container. Someone else will be along @webesemps I bet will know names, she makes some fabulous containers.

1 - maybe: Variegated String of Buttons (Crassula perforata 'Variegata')
6 - maybe: Sedum (Sedum clavatum)

I wouldn't use a sentimental, collectible, or expensive container that you care about keeping nice-looking because hard water deposits can be impossible to remove. If it doesn't have a hole added to the bottom, adding too much water one time could kill all of your plants. Using a squirt bottle to spritz water to moisten soil instead of pouring can help with that regardless of container type. Thrift store finds are all the rage lately for succulent containers. No concern about adding a hole in the bottom, or being able to clean it to "like new" state later.

Thank you, everyone for your help. I think the little square ones are really cute. Maybe I can find them locally.

3. Perle von Nurnberg Echeveria 'Perle von Nurnberg'
8. Euphorbia obesa Baseball Plant (Euphorbia obesa)
4. I think is Echeveria 'Black Prince' Echeveria 'Black Prince'

Beautiful container.

2. similar to Echeveria secunda
5. one of the Echeveria agavoides
9. sort of looks like member of Euphorbia or Stapelia groups?

How wonderful, everyone is zeroing in on identifying all the succulents in that container.

Good call with adding numbers to the pic

Yes Tiffany is good at pulling that stuff together.

I have picked up these large sea shell dishes cheap at Goodwill. I use them around the pond and I have planted Semps in them. I think they were an item for chip and dip dishes back in the 70s because there is always a small one and large one together.

Cinta that's really cute!! I like the shell pot in the backround with what looks like graptoveria!

Yes Greg that is what it is. That thing is a baby maker. I sent out eight boxes of it in my suc offer last yr. I was going to offer some more sucs this yr but I had a party and my guest loved my plants so a lot of them got plants as favors this yr

Great idea!!

I love the looks of those. I am a newbie to sedum/secullents. I am looking for some that can stay outside in zone 6. Can someone point me in the right direction. I am not new to gardening but new in this area. Thanks

Hi Teresa.
There are so many different sedum with different growing requirements (growing zones). The best way to decide which you would like to have is using our database, it gives all the information about each plant, including growing zone.

Do you want ground cover types, or tall/upright succulents, or both?
Let the adventure begin. Just let us know if you have questions about particular ones that you like.

@bluegrassmom - there is always sempervivum I have been growing them for about 4 years now and I keep thinking I'm going to get over my love of these plants, but that hasn't happened yet! Welcome

Bluegrassmom all the plants in the shell are sempervivum the shell stays out all winter. I am a zone six some winters I am a zone five.

Thanks guys for the welcome. I am a plant addict and this is a new avenue for me. Yes, I will try that using the specic database. Do you guys mostly mail order? Any recommendations? Or do you offer plants her on ATPs? Thanks

I mail order most of mine to buy from a good semp source. So many mixed up names on these plants. Check out SMG Succulents, Goldfinch4 --- Sempervivum Patch and I have an ad running now also.

For cold hardy plants I use SMG succulents, Mountaincrest gardens
For 'tender' plants I use Aridlands.com they are amazing!
