I scored this vintage mid century planter for $13 at a flea market! What should I put in it? I need the perfect thing. Iβm a succulent gal, so a cactus or succ is what I want. Iβm thinking something tall since the pot is small. Ideas? #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #SuccerForSucculents #CactusClique #Cactus

@WisePΕhutukawa Iβm not sure what a tiger claw is, but I feel like something tall would look good!
@RJG it definitely has your cacti identified incorrectly. π but thatβs and awesome one. I love that type. Itβs going to start growing like crazy it appears. Youβll have multiple heads soon probably. That one looks so awesome too. Actually if @jana85 can find a loph for sale that would also be a cool one to put in the vintage planter. Or the one you have. Both would be really cool
@PapaHempseed youβll end up putting that devils lettuce in it if itβs sent to you. π . I like that planter also. I might go to antique stores to look for old ones like that now.
@SirLiquorice I donβt have any euphorbias yet so Iβll look into that. I LOVE how adorable lophophora are but idk if I can find one to buy. I have to pretty much order everything online because nobody in eastern Kentucky sells desert plants. I was lucky to find this planter because nearly all the vintage ones I find donβt have holes in them! They usually sell for $10-$15 though, which is cheap!
@Jana85 that would be super cool to have one of those in that pot. But a obesa would also be pretty awesome. But the LW would be super cool since itβs extra rare and exotic
@Jana85 just message him on instagram and he will send pics and prices depending on how old and large you want to buy.
@SirLiquorice thank you so much! Do you also have a recommendation for a cactus that blooms pretty reliably? I love the flowers but I think the few cacti I own arenβt prolific bloomers.
That rebutia is also cold tolerant Iβve noticed some mine survived 15 degrees for a long time while others died and froze half to death. It had no issues with the cold. And the flowers last a few days and more just keep growing and blooming. So definitely one of the very best for flowers. Actually almost any rebutia would be a good choice for lots of flowers. https://planetdesert.com/pages/search-results-page?q=rebutia
@Jana85 honestly, I have never heard of many of them. I believe the sellers make up their own names to trick us collectors!!
@Jana85 I got some cold hardy cacti that bloom pretty often... and you really wouldn't have to worry about them in Kentucky winter...
@fairficus slightly different. They look more stiff/straight/symmetrical, but I like those too :)
