Empty Pot No More

Many of us have empty pots just laying around our house or hidden out-of-site in our backyard. Maybe the plant that once thrived there has since died or you just haven’t found the time to plant anything in it. Here are two 10” diameter pots that my neighbor had laying around. I filled them with potting soil mixed with perlite (almost 50/50 ratio, probably more soil than perlite) for better drainage. If there is one thing you should know about succulents is that they will not do well in wet soil for a long time.
