Martha Stewart Loves Succulents
And I absolutely fell in love with several types (of tropical plants), such as cycads, agaves and aloes….
I suggest a visit to a great tropical garden such as… the Ruth Bancroft Garden in Walnut Creek, Calif.
Arranging succulents in a triangle, with the tall plants in back and the little ones in front, lets each plant how off its unique form and texture. (Photo: Richard Felber)
Interesting how certain she is that succulents look best in a triangle. Hmmm.

DON’T QUESTION MARTHA!!!!! She could destroy you on a whim. If she says they look best in a triangle, then they look best in a triangle. Even if they look better in a rectangle or trapezoid. WHICH THEY DO NOT, because Martha says they don’t.
And for the love of Pete, be careful. I’m not always going to be around to get you back on-track like this. In fact, you probably shouldn’t even have mentioned her at all, much less mention her in order to doubt her authoritah.

Thank you Mr. Subjunctive! I have warned him too… perhaps hearing it from you, will get through his thick head!

For crying out loud. Martha and I go way back, to our days at Poduskety HS upstate. It’s true she wouldn’t talk to me or even acknowledge my existence back then, but I know she knew. Oh, she knew.

I agree with Mr_subjunctive, Martha is all knowing, she’s my idol! Lol, I did enjoy your post, I never thought of arranging my cactuses in a triangle. But apparently I should have though, seeing as this is the ‘best’ way to do so.
