Two Boxcar willies in an 18 gal. container?
I reckon 2 stupice will do ok in an 18 gallon but I'm not at all sure about boxcar willie. Now that I think of it would Amish Paste be ok?

Seems a little crowded for Box Car Willie. In a 18-gallon
self-watering container, maybe. They got to be big plants for me, easily occupying as much space as a big refrigerator by fall. That could be overworking a root ball that small. Maybe if you prune each plant back to one main stem as they grow, they would do ok. (I have not grown Amish Paste.)
