Take a second look
at the forgotten items around the house, in the garage,
at the yard sale down the street. It's time to turn
junk into genius by creating unusually
elegant and beautiful succulents planters. Succulents and cacti
are hardy plants. Just read their care instructions and you'll find that most
a relatively easy to care for. They make the perfect match for a little
gardening creativity. With a little preparation
you can come up with unique ways to plant. Like an old chalkboard clipboard with a
pocket perfectly sized for a sweet little succulent. Instead of tossing out an old
pair of boots, a few drainage holes in the sole in turn them into a matching pair planters.
A walk on the wild side. Don't pass by those bizarre bowls,
vintage garage sale finds either, get creative with old
containers and make the Greek gods proud. Instead of scrapping
old rain gutters, upcycle. Drill a few holes,
and plant a plethora of tiny succulents.
When a purse is past it's prime, kids grow out of their kicks, don't throw them out, grow them out.
Creating mini succulent gardens from old accessories is a great family project.
To spruce up a patio
think inside the box. An antique wooden crate with a variety of cacti and succulents turns
a mere planter into indoor or outdoor decor.
No matter what you find, chances are those
found objects will make unusual conversational planters for your succulent plants.
So go ahead, let your creativity grow.
