I love this planting! I have a tile and glass bit for my drill and this gives me a great idea for planting all kinds of trailing succulent type plants in these types of "frogs," once I drill a hole in the bottom. Many thanks for posting this picture.

This makes an awesome hanging basket. If it falls to the ground...it starts a plant!!!! Very easy to grow. Prefers shade and part sun!!

Thank you This little guy sits out side all year long and he no longer has the bolivian jew in him but a couple of different sedums. They come back each year, and when they get unruly I just clip them and stick them back in the mouth it was so thick last year I will have to post a new pick of this guy in the spring.
But as for the plant bolivian jew, I planted it around in several different places last year, (started with three small top pieces, and ended up with four pots full, right now two 6 inch pots are sitting in my bathroom...looking pretty stringy, as oon as I am sure the cold is gone They will return to the porch for a few weeks and then back to the rail pots they go. ( I have 8 of these things they kind of hang over the edge of the rail with an adjustable hook that keeps them attached. I have some creeping sedums in there too they should be blooming here soom, they really filled th pots over the winter here, it looks like a big moss right now, If anyone wants to trade a little this stuff grown anywhere and covers nicely and blooms with pretty little yellow star shaped flowers in the late spring. I think it is called the yellow star sedum, I ue it as a hanging element out of pots, and as a ground cover, in between rocks, it will grow anywhere but I like it, I am looking for a start of the baby's tears sedum, if anyone would like to trade.
