What are the containers made of?

Do they have drainage holes?

What did they use for potting medium?

Succulents should not be kept constantly wet but need good watering. The high humidity is not 'succulents best friend'...

I think the office staff purchased them to "prettify" the area. I suspect they were told they could set the whole thing down and forget about it. (Which is exactly what they've done.) We don't have onsite gardener, so grounds people only show up for major seasonal landscaping projects.

The container looks to be about 3" deep, 4" at the absolute max. They do look very crammed in. I don't know enough about sucs yet to tell if they need water. After yesterday's downpour I was hoping they'd perk up a bit.

They get sun all day, so I suppose watering wouldn't hurt. I haven't checked the container for drainage, so I'll definitely do that first.

Thanks!

Containers are plastic. Haven't checked for drainage yet. Will do. I have no idea what potting medium they used. Since the price sticker is still on the container, I suspect it's whatever they came in.

There is drainage in each pot. And they're 6" deep. When I lifted to check for drainage, I saw they're sitting on bare ground that is very moist. Sure I annoyed the earthworm who'd found a great home.

Sure they would do much better planted direct......can you??

Nope. Landscaping is pretty strict. That's why I think someone in the office just plunked them down in an area with no landscaping. Before the pots there was just the fountain and the area covered with bark and rocks around the fountain.

Well, this container garden continues to degrade. I keep an eye on it and scoop up any fallen leaves for possible propagation. Today, I found this lying on the ground next to one of the containers.

Obviously someone pulled them out of the container and even beheaded one. This is what it looks like now, after a snip and a root cleaning. I have high hopes that it can be saved.

Can anyone ID from these pics? Thanks!
