Gift Idea: Renewable, Cost Effective, Yearly With A Personal Touch - Blockchain Coffee “Succulent”

Had we not watered the dang Succulent Planter all of them probably would have survived.


A few months ago, I picked up a succulent planter for Melissa on Valentines Day, nothing to special just a small heart shaped thing to go with the day's celebrations. In the last couple of weeks during all the transplanting I have done I also ended up sticking the surviving Succulents from that planter into our Hosta. This is an attempt to save the remaining 2 and hopefully stick a few of the smaller baby off shoots back into the heart shaped planter for next year's Valentines Day Gift.

I had been checking the soil and it always felt completely dry though when stuffing my finger to the bottom that time I immediately felt soaking wetness. I asked Mel if she has been watering them also and she had, meaning we were both watering the Succulent planter which is supposed to be a low maintenance plant.
From my experience the succulents are a variety of plant that require periods of dry between watering particularly if on the heavy side.

You can find them poking out of all the cracks and we pick some and sell them to customers. People want to copy the ornamental rock style water garden yet people don't know I am often also told to pull them out and turf them when getting out of control. These little guys need nearly no care, even packaging its just pull them out of the ground and wrap the roots in paper towel put inside a bag for the trip. We often hear back that they overtake every aspect of their water garden to which the boss Eva would always reply "Beauty Comes A Price" in her heavy German accent.

This the very thing about these Succulents I hope take advantage of, their rate of growth. Having put them in with the Hosta they have some stiff competition but together I think they will look nice and as a bonus all year long. Kind of amusing if you ask me how, our inability to communicate resulted in a …
