I've been learning about using succulents as garden plants to cope with summer drought. (Given review copy, not paid.)
'The Dry Exotic Garden' by Paul Spracklin is a comprehensive look at a style of gardening he's been testing for decades. Advice from what he's learned ranges from design and propagation to plant choice and cultivation.

Vivarium is finished! Took an idea of people looking out at huge plants instead of inward at tiny plants.

Tiny surprise restock! A few of the plants that ran out of stock over the month have grown enough for me add more to the shop at the last minute - including Callisia repens 'Kribo'.
There's only one day left to order! The shop will close first thing in the morning (UK time) on 1st April. There's always a flurry of orders near the end so it might take a couple of weeks for all the orders to get shipped out after that.
I hit another bucket-list plant store today: Ozaki Flower Park in Nerima
They had a nice outdoor section with an OK assortment of succulents, but I underwhelmed until I went inside to the second floor. They have a huge variety of all sorts of stuff.
I picked up
Euphorbia obesa
Haworthia “Maken” (魔剣)—“Magic Sword”. I love these goofy-ass names.
Tillandsia duratii
Succulent Garden watercolor
A colorful watercolor for those who love succulents. I enjoyed painting all the details, inspired by a garden in Berkeley. Welcome #spring!

Lithops is a genus of succulent plants. They avoid being eaten by herbivores with their camouflage as small stones, and are often known as pebble plants or living stones.

I received a nice gift: a cactus growing kit
Who knew it could be so simple to grow a cactus? Just:
1. Seed
2. Grow
(If “grow” is a single step then it seems like you could do away with everything else!)
Let’s see how it goes
