words here, I want to show you some examples of

mixed bowls which is what we're really trying to promote with

the Tender Succulent family. They don't survive our winters

so put them into shallow bowls

and with a well-drained mix,

with mostly sun. They're very drought tolerant and only water a few times a

month

and then as the season gets later and we're getting a chance of heavy

frost,

they can all take a little bit of frost; minor frost but then get those bowls in,

into the house

in a bright, cool location if possible

and they'll survive easily as an indoor plant through the winter

and then get them back out in the spring once a chance of

frost is going to pass us. These examples here

are mainly using the Echeveria family

which we talked about in parts 1 to 3. But

there are some other things in here as well. Some

Aeoniums. Kalanchoes

Here is the Kalanchoe Flapjacks. Here is the

Euphorbia 'Fire Sticks'

As the years progress, we will talk about and do more series of

Tender Succulents

involving maybe some of these other species but just for your own knowledge though,

most of these rosette type plants or

succulents that you're looking at are the Echeveria family which was in

part 1, 2 and 3.

Just so you remember. We get a lot of inquiries on, "What can I plant? I

got this small little pot" like some metal

you know, metal structure they have; is holding a

really small pot. Or people may have like

wheelbarrows that they're using and they want to plant a very shallow and they

don't know what to put in them because that doesn't hold a lot of soil.

These are the perfect plants for that

because they don't need a lot of irrigation

and you'll never kill them if you happen to forget or if you're gone for a week or

so and you can't be there to water them.

So for the smaller containers, shallow bowls,

full sun, little railing planters on

for easy-care, nothing beats the Tender Succulent family

So have fun and happy gardening!
