propagating succulents

[ChileanTaco]

Succulents are what grows here well
I have plenty of them, this is just a small sample.

All the large ones are 1 - 1.5 years old, grown from offshoots/"babies". All the small ones (mainly image 2 and 3) are already new offshoots grown from these. (And all stones are right here from the desert. The succulents in the first photo are really big, the pot is about 40 cm in diameter - just repotted this week and will get some stones for this when hiking during weekend. These stones are a nice natural fertilizer for them.)

What is the tall one behind the prickly pear? It looks pretty cool.
Christina and I both love the desert fauna.

This is our back patio.
I want a couple decent sized Saguaro to add in. (I happen to know a few places I can transplant them from to save several hundred dollars )

What is the tall one behind the prickly pear? It looks pretty cool.

I was not able to find it out - saw them since we moved here (never saw them in the US, also not in California or Arizona where one might suspect them), they are extremely common here (as a garden/ balcony plant, I mean, but not in the wild). No idea what they are called. Asked people at work, they also didn't know.
It propagates from egg-shaped egg-sized pieces looking almost like prickly pear fruit, but are not fruit. Looks like its strategy is these "things" fall off and then roll down the hill - down the hill is a good thing in nature, there might be water! I grew mine (have in total three) each from such a "thing" I literally found on the street.
It can grow very large; this is really just the beginning. Think of something 2 m high, 2m diameter (they branch out over time) after just some years. Grows with little maintenance very well.

When plants finally get too big, I'll give them to my workplace. There is currently one big jade tree somebody donated, but not much else as that's right in the desert and zero shade. My workplace tries to gradually build up a succulent garden to make this part of the campus, which currently looks quite rough, a bit nicer.

I also do so And that back patio is the style I like very much. I've also made a wind chime ornament out of sea shells, and I have some driftwood out that I collected (a rare find here). Also I see on this pillar (?) in the center you have some ornaments, I made similar ones (partially for indoors but also could be put outdoors and I make more for outdoors).

That’s really pretty!

The ornaments are both the Kokopelli. He is a Native American Indian god of fertility, partying and mischief (sounds like my kind of deity lol) (not trying to be blasphemous, just funny)
It's cool your work wants to create a beautiful garden, I hope they are successful.
We have limited room at our house right now, but when we build on our rance I'll have acres and acres to create a cacti paradise I plan to do a raised boardwalk that snakes around the property. I'll manicure it will Prickly Pear, Cholla, Yuca/Joshua trees, Saguaro, Ocotillo, Peruvian Figs, Mexican Stovepipe ect. Oh and of course varieties of barrel cacti. I'll source what I can naturally also.

The space I have available is about 2.5 x 2.5 m - that's the balcony here on the 13th floor.
What's out there elsewhere is a rather large patio table (seats four, wanted it to have enough space to do crafts).

The ornaments are both the Kokopelli.

Thanks! Was hard to spot (thought these are lizard ornaments), but know it well. Have a necklace with a Kokopelli pendant

Very (very!) good idea
