I had a garden full of them in Santa Barbara but since I’ve moved to Tucson, I grow my fleshy succulents in containers. Most of them I brought as cuttings but this is 1 of 2 plants which made in to my new home. It was high time for freshening up & amending this succulent pot.

I love this crested euphorbia because of the twisting, every which way that it grows. There were a few odds & ends of smaller succulents that I wanted to take out because this crazy euphorbia had grown so much. It deserved to be the star of the show & have the pot all to itself. Plus, it would greatly benefit from new mix & a few of handfuls of amendments.

Note: I add in a bit of potting soil to my fleshy succulent plantings here in the desert because it keeps me from having to water  every few days in this hot, sunny climate. You can skip the potting soil if you’re not in a similar climate.

I love how this plant looks in this pot – it’s a winning combo. It sits on a table on the patio off my living room & I see it through the sliding glass doors many times a day. 

This Crested Euphorbia be fine in this pot for a year or 2 more & then it’ll be time for a bigger pot. Do you have a succulent/pot combo that you just love?
