I did do a whole day of planting a lot of the succulents /cactus into the ground this Spring. Would love to take some off your hands but that would put me in the same position you have now. And I'm tired of hand watering the small pots. <br />Love this post though!Annette!https://www.blogger.com/profile/06423779365479534179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376265981959655408.post-86823196473817334002015-08-13T12:44:43.811-07:002015-08-13T12:44:43.811-07:00This post made me smile because I saw myself in it...This post made me smile because I saw myself in it many times over. <br /><br />You've got attractive plants AND attractive pots so I wouldn't worry too much.

Colder climates mean more pot moving (at least twice a year) so that helps to keep the number down. What plant is in the ground next to the bromeliads? It's beautiful!
