Hardy Succulent & Cactus Planter || Making A Succulent Container Garden Part 1



*I need to mention that that i did end up mixing up a good amount of this gravel into the soil, just forget to show it and mention it.*

Welcome to part 1of 3 of me trying to gather and organize all of my cactus and succulents together to create various arrangements which will be used to create my Cactus & succulent Container Garden. In this planter i am using all of my cold hardy cactus and succulents, which includes: Spineless prickly pear ( opuntia engelmannii ) , Tree Cholla ( Cylindropuntia imbricata ) , sempervivums, sedums and the claret cup cactus ( Echinocereus triglochidiatus ) and a lovely ascot rainbow euphorbia. All of these cactus and succulents are fully hardy here in my zone 6 garden, though i will still be protecting them from harsh wet and cold weather. In Part 2 i will be planting up all of the tropical cactus and succulents such as echeverias and cereus cactus.

    Hey Everyone! Just letting you know I put the names of all the plants used in the description of the video and I also forgot to mention that I added a hefty amount of gravel to the potting mix to increase drainage and create that nice gritty soil that cactus and succulents love. Keep on Grow'n!

    Question: so do you just water with the hose every two or 3 weeks? It’s so hard to know what soil mixture to use, every one uses something different. I’ve even seen people just use plain ‘ol potting soil? My current mix is Cactus soil, extra perlite (no pumice around here to be found) a little vermiculite, and coconut coir, so far seems to be okay.
