Succulent Zen Garden, Update One: New Roots and Holey Cactuses
My little succulent garden is moving along nicely. One of the plants has sadly died, putting all of it's energy into a leaflet to keep itself alive, while giving up on the rest of the plant which is just too damaged. Sometimes I wish I could do that, but that's not how people work.
The photos above show an example of a cloned succulent. The first one came from the bigger plant shown just above.
This is the plant that was dying, notice one part is still green and healthy, I helped it out and planted it.
And Rebel Dog was bored.
There's a hole in that cactus, thanks to Tequila.

Great post lily-da-vine!
I too love succulents :D
They are very hardy but hate frost of course ... they are wonderfully drought tolerant which is an essential element for many peoples choice of what to grow! Thank you for the peek into your wonderful garden, and that's a lovely hound you have there too!
Upvoted, resteemed & following for more
keep well
I think I would have likely killed my succulents in the Northern United states where I used to live, but down here in Mexico frost just isn't an issue. Me forgetting to water however...different story haha
Wow Mexico! Beautiful ... I have to visit some time as Mexico has always held so much fascination to me on many levels! I am originally from the UK but have just moved to sunny (and wonderfully wet) costa Rica!
You are in perfect succulent territory - happy gardening!
Mexico is one of my favorite places on this planet and I think I'll always feel that way. Between the people, good food and beautiful terrain it's second to none for me at the moment.
My english friend moved from the UK to here almost a year ago, he finds the sunshine refreshing lol.
Hehe yeh your english friend will indeed feel like he's in heaven - and you are too! ... Mmm I love Mexican food - guacamole rules!!
Fun fact, guacamole as you know it is an american food. It doesn't exist here save for in a thin sauce unless you find it americanized somehwere.
Hehe wow thank you lily-da-vine! - how funny! Perhaps it fell out of favour as I now read in Wikipedia: Guacamole is an avocado-based dip or salad first created by the Aztecs in what is now Mexico. In addition to its use in modern Mexican cuisine, it has become part of international and American cuisine as a dip, condiment and salad ingredient.
thanks for the local info!
At least in Acapulco it's not a thing here. Neither are nachos and burritos, although I know burritos are a thing elsewhere in mexico
good post @lily-da-vine

Beautiful post. Would you mind participating in my community survey? https://steemit.com/steemit/@joannajablonka/spam-bots-and-cheetah-s-oh-my-community-opinion-survey
are they like that all the time or do they bloom flowers
Through these techniques we stress the plant and encourage it to flower. The unopened flower you see is at the end of a trained branch
Good post, excelemte congratulations, you're a big on this platform
