Our clients were looking for to maximize the use of their small courtyard. We added a low stucco wall filled with easy to maintain, low water succulents.

Night Blooming Jasmine. Extremely fast grower and surprised me how tall it can actually get. This is currently approaching 10'.

If you decide to keep your Pilea in the same pot for a while and take good care of it (water just once a week or when the soil is dried out), you will probably discover a few baby Pileas growing next to the big plant. You can either keep them in there or remove them carefully when they are at a minimum of 2". Credits: instagram.com/houtje.touwtje
