maybe i'll come back....

a few of my existing plants died (from bug infestation after one stormy night), i decided to grow succulents. i have two succulent terrariums indoor and they do well even without much maintenance. and i have found that succulents come in all shapes, sizes, and most importantly color! these succulents would be the foundation for my next project of growing a vertical garden :)
