Bowls

I have two large bowls I'm using for random plants that need a place to live. In the 8-inch Bonsai, I've got just three things so far, the unidentified Echeveria, the unidentified Grapto-something (both extras from the Ramsey order), and an unidentified cutting that I got from my nephew. I ordered two Echeveria Purpusorums by mistake a few days ago, and the extra will end up in this bowl.

I have a little bit more of a plan with the 10-inch Montage. Starting at the back left and going somewhat clockwise:

• Oscularia deltoides Ice Plant - This is a spreader, and it is big enough now to take about half of it and put it elsewhere.
• Haworthia limifolia Fairy Washboard - Recently-planted pup, the only Haworthia to escape my office so far.
• Cuban Oregano - I stuck this in there just to fill in some space. If it gets too big it can go elsewhere.
• Senecio haworthii Cocoon Plant - Another plant where I could take half of it and put it elsewhere.
• Sedum adolphi Shooting Stars - Another spreader, I could re-allocate two-thirds of this.
• Echeveria Lilac Mist (center) - I got four rosettes of this, and put one of them in here.
• Crassula perforata variegata
• Rosemary, another filler that doesn't have to be here.

The two bowls may spend some time in the greenhouse, but I envision they will spend most of the summer on our patios. Many succulents want good light but not direct noonday sun. The front patio gets morning sun, and the back gets evening light. The locations are under cover so won't get rained on (much), and I can bring them inside if a windy downpour is expected.

I've been pondering whether to summer the succulents, about 50, in the greenhouse. The 50 I'm not sure about excludes the house plants (Haworthias, Crassulas, cacti) which definitely will not move, and the multiple pots of Cuban Oregano and Aloe which will be in the greenhouse for sure. It includes most of the Echeverias, Graptos, Pachyphytums, Sedums/hybrids, and the surviving Sempervivums (moment of silence, please).

The raised beds in the greenhouse are getting strawberries, tomatoes, peppers and flowers, and there will be strawberry baskets and various large pots/grow bags. I'm planning on setting up irrigation, so it likely is to get a bit humid in there, which a lot of succulents don't like. But if I keep them in the garage, they may get overheated. Here in the Montana foothills the humidity is usually quite low, and even when the greenhouse gets steamed up during a watering, it usually comes down quickly. And I'll try to set the sprinklers so they don't shoot water into the air. So I answered my own question, the 50 will be moving over there for the summer.
