Today features another group of plants from around the house – the succulent collection.
These started indoors in the two large terracota pots after arriving in the mail as a gift, then expanded to the additional pots. They had a period of time outdoors in the front garden so that they were watered either by rain or the reticulation. Their current location previously housed the ‘nursery’ of natives that have since been planted out. It is intended they will go full circle and return indoors, the LED grow lights are the first step in that plan.
