And same here. I love designing and making tabletop gardens. It is so much fun and satisfying, not to mention how well this type of gardening suit the busy lifestyle of nowadays city people.

As a busy working mom, I find succulent container gardening fits well in my hectic schedule--the succulents are tolerant of neglect for weeks & I can do my "gardening" even indoors (or on my lighted porch) at night. I've recently started creating themed tabletop gardens for myself & as gifts for friends & family. Everyone loves them,even guys! (my 23 year son just gave me 10 new plants I didn't have yet for my Mother's Day gift) I think men like their "alien" from another planet look. My concrete front porch is quickly becoming covereed with groupings of containers. So far I've made a beach scene complete with dunes, seashells, sand, driftwood, & glass florist stone design elements in a mini oval galvanized washtub with several mini cactus, a kalanchoe, I even found a tiny bisque segull to perch on the driftwood. I made a more traditional Asain floral style arrangement in a teal colored footed pedastal rectangular dish & included decorative chopsticks for both an artistic element & support for newly planted succulents. 2 bisque Chinese wading birds next to a large flat glass florist stone that gave the appearance of a reflection pond. One artist friend says that I have finally found my medium for frustrated artistic expression. It has also given me a vehicle to display collections of seashells and rocks I've had stashed in boxes & jars for years! (Just make sure shells epecially are well-washed with clear water to eliminate any salts or minerals from ocean water that could damage tender succulents.) I'm also experimenting with using "recycled" containers (like tea & coffee tins) and "repurposing" other materials (like the bean-like pellets that come in plush toys) as ground cover. I have a row of colorful Harny & sons tea tins that I got free from a local Starbucks planted with single heads of beautiful echerverias! I'm even thinking of pulling out my collection of miniature cats that have been in storage for over 20 years & including them in my arrangements. The possibilities are endless!

These cactus will definitely have to be repotted once they get bigger. These are cactus, so I won’t trim it. These cactus will definitely have to be repotted once they get bigger.

Will trimming will made them stay tiny and small? Will try one of these when I get the seed. Cute is cute but what will happen when they grow bigger?

I love container gardening, not only because this is my only choice (haha), but because it gets me to stretch my creativity and find fun ways to grow plants. N Blotanical is a great place to meet other alikes, isn't it? I like it much :) Hi Stephanie, thank you for dropping by.
