How to Pick Succulents for Special Pots

Displaying collectible succulents in one-of-a-kind pots is a great way to enjoy both, lends interest and sophistication to your outdoor living spaces, and cuts clutter. Plus, pairing is fun!
Btw, the difference between "staging" (for Cactus and Succulent shows) and "pairing" (the aesthetic shown in this video) is that pairing gives the pot stature. It becomes more than merely a frame for the plant. As an recognized art form, pairing identifies pottery artists along with the special plants displayed in their one-of-a-kind pots.

Love this video and I like the explanation and difference between staging and pairing. Either way both are art forms and thats what I love about it. The creative arts circle between the perfect plant and the perfect pot keeps that creative energy moving . Love love Pats Pots and I love your videos!

The color and form in succulents is spectacular.

[@QueenofSucculents]

Yes, I'll never forget having the same reaction, seeing photo after photo in a book by a New Zealand horticulturist 20+ years ago. And now there are succulent photos all over the Internet!

Which of these do you like best? Are there any pairings you would have done differently? Let us know!

[@marisolresendiz-garcia573]

Lovely video! You definitely have a gift for art, as soon as you mention the mirroring of colors between the plant and the pot, I see it! Thank you!

[@QueenofSucculents]

What a great comment---that's exactly what I aim to do! Thank you!

[@cathygodfrey1106]

Both look nice! I like the lavender best I think. I would solve the issue by getting one of each!

[@QueenofSucculents]

Thanks Cathy! We'd need two of the same pots, though, and these are one-of-a-kind.

You're very welcome, Chris. Thanks for the comment!

Love this video, but tell me, do these pots shown have drainage holes?

[@QueenofSucculents]

Yes they’re about the size of a quarter.
