They will get mature heads of from 4' to 10'. Pick an average of around 8' in diameter. If you want them to touch, plant them 8' apart. Closer than that and you have fronds banging into each other. If you want them for shade value, then put them closer. I would price out fully-booted ones just out of curiosity. They do look better than the clear trunks unless you plan on growing stuff on the trunks. I did a job in Ft. Lauderdale where we tied staghorn ferns all around the clear trunks of five existing Sabals on the property. That was 7 or 8 years ago. I would imagine by now they have fully wrapped themselves and expanded.

Hi Dawn....I hope that you do visit often but be forewarned that Logan has no knowledge of plants and their culture and enjoys giving incorrect or harmful answers to those needing help. Just ignore him. Your first plant is Texas Sage (Leucophyllum frutescens) as suggested by Sammy. Luckily for you, it responds very well to very heavy pruning clear to the ground after which it will grow back very full and shrubby. This procedure is one was to completely rejuvenate a shrub. Pittosporum tobira is another plant that can be pruned completely to the ground and will respond with three or so feet of compact growth that very first spring. Shrub rejuvenation should be done only in late winter, just before new growth starts. Here's the catch: without seeing these plants in person, it is impossible to say whether they are in good shape or not, other than being unpruned. I don't think that the Pittosporum looks in good color, but have no idea why. They are prone to attack by scale insects and root rot, and DO need occasional fertilization if they don't get any. Neither of these plants will do well in damp soils and would be happiest if never under an irrigation system. If these were my plants, I'd not hesitate in chopping them close to the ground in the late winter and watching them regrow in the spring. Inspect the Pitt for cottony cushion or wax scale.

Misting succulents every week as a general advice is not very helpful -:( - not your fault but store employee. It needs to be in container with drainage holes (I can't tell if yours has them or not). It should be potted in fast draining mix - what I see looks like peat with very little perlite in it. Simple and better mix you can make is 50/50 mix of Cactus & Succulent soil and sifted/rinsed perlite. It should be watered when potting mix is almost completely dry - use bamboo skewer or chopstick to check it. It needs as much light as possible but should be acclimatized to it if it was in darker spot. This is what just about all succulents need.

Kelli, not while it's so small, no. And this is a plant that's summer-dormant, so in a few months you'll stop watering it often. Right now, bright light that's indirect and once every 7-10 days for watering, when it's dry.
