Container #36 (Joyful Succulents #10): Succulent Thriller, Fillers, and Spillers

May 22, 2020 By Cindy Jungman, SDSU Extension Master Gardener

This container was an attention-getter! The “thriller, filler, spiller” concept is demonstrated in this succulent container. Go to https://www.finegardening.com/ar…/thrillers-fillers-spillers for more information.

RECIPE:
• (1) Burro’s Tail (spiller)
• (1) Cotyledon “Happy Young Lady” (thriller)
• (1) Aloe “Gator” (filler)
• (1) Faucaria tigrina “Tiger Jaws” (filler)

TIPS:
• Place this container in a protected spot where it won’t get bumped as the leaves of the burro’s tail plant fall off easily.
• The burro’s tail plant propagates easily from either leaf or stem cuttings. More on this later in the summer!
