Hello friends,

I haven't posted in years, but I recently got a backyard, need advice, and this board used to be very supportive :)

I am planning to put a bunch of succulents behind a sitting wall. I have only had kalanchoes and always only in pots. What is the best way to water them? How many times? Are some of the these sensitive to the sun?

The area where I want to plant them is behind this sitting wall and it gets sun most of the day:

One of the concerns I have is wether it will be fine to have the decorative rocks covering the area up to the stems. Will they get too hot? Will it make it not drain well or for me not to see if the plant needs water?

Another thing I am considering is using this cactus (that a neighbor gave me a couple of months ago) near a fence for a side of the house that is not very visible. I know these plants like to invade, so I cannot put them in many more places:

(if you know what variety it is, that is a plus).
Thanks a lot!
