Growing up, my mom always planted her own pots. In fact, she even started all her geraniums from cuttings – I have to give her kudos for this! For many, this seems odd because nowadays, you simply can go to a big box store and find numerous planters all potted up and ready to go. As with just about everything else in my life (ha!), I have a need to be more original. But I also happen to love to save agave and succulents to use as showpieces around The Farm. It’s like I’m almost a glutton for work! While it takes some work to keep these agaves over winter, I think it’s definitely worth it. Personally, I strive for eye-catching textures interspersed with a few annuals for added interest. Planters you pot yourself don’t always have instant satisfaction, but long term, they are worth it. When everyone else’s planters are spent, and over, yours will still be lush and beautiful! I hope this inspires you to plant your own!
Great video. Entertaining as always, Kaleb. Everything will look cool when grown in. I use tons of succulents in my wedding and party business here in California, still very popular.
