Succulents,  
So- my succulents have died (i wasn’t doing the best job) so i finally got rid of them- any suggestions for new succulents that will be good for this pot?

Be careful using those pots. Ceramic holds in moisture. Make sure there are drainage holes, and let the soil dry completely before re-watering. A String of Pearls would look good in the tallest pot.

i string of pearls would be nice

### flow3r commented on 2025-05-28

ok! and they do have drainage, they work well- they were my first ever plants and ive been too busy to find new ones

### fuey commented on 2025-05-28

You could also use that as a decorative pot and have an “uglier” insert nursery pot

### flow3r commented on 2025-05-28

ohh thats a good idea

### Phil commented on 2025-05-28

The biggest problem you will have is avoiding rot. Most succulents have shallow roots. How are going to deal with all the soil in the bottom of the pot that has no roots to take up water. If they were terracotta it may be possible but this is ceramic. String of pearls would look good but the roots are very shallow. Even with a soil of total grit I think their time would be limited. But you could give it a try to see what happens. Consider the nursery pot idea.

### flow3r commented on 2025-05-28

yeah. i could also get a better pot for a succulent- any suggestions?

### Karson commented on 2025-05-29

I would vote putting some succulent adjacent plants like snake plants or euphorbias in there and may a pothos in one to have a viney plant in there too

#### Bb replied on 2025-05-29

I like the euphorbia idea!

### flow3r commented on 2025-05-29

ooo ok

### flow3r commented on 2025-05-29

i considered maybe fake ones for it but i really hate fake plants

Try Haworthias like zebra and use all gritty mix like bonsai jack from Amazon . They're very easy to care for. That was first thing in mind when I saw your pots.
