Discover the most beautiful ideas for decorating around your home using succulent plant compositions
Furnishing the house with plants is a way to make it more comfortable and pleasant, and among the thousands of varieties that we can choose from there are some that always end up being preferred by most: they are succulent plants. They have a thousand different shapes and colors, but above all they require very little care and do not grow too fast, which makes them suitable even for those who do not have time to devote to the care of plants.
Their fascinating characteristics, then, allows one to obtain scenographic compositions by combining different varieties and above all, by using an infinite number of objects (even old ones to be thrown away) as original planters and pots. Check out the ideas below:
One of the most common and easy methods to use is that which involves filling any glass container, such as old jars or vases of any kind, with soil (always mixed with sand or even pebbles, so that it is light and well-draining) and plant succulent varieties in them. Since these systems do not have a hole for water drainage, extreme care must be taken not to wet the soil too much or too often, because water stagnation is bad for these plants.
Another composition that finds the favor with most is the one set up inside cups, or even entire tea and coffee sets. It's a great idea for creatively recycling pieces of ceramic or porcelain that were damaged or mismatched, and it also provides a gorgeous gift idea.
Tuna cans converted into planters for succulents, to hang on the wall but also to place wherever you want. The important thing is to decorate the cans themselves with some cover of your choice, such as twine, rope or scraps of fabric.
A miniature garden in an old wicker basket: just line the inside with plastic so that moisture doesn't rot the basket in the long run. And you could also drill holes in the bottom, covering the walls with hot glue (leaving the holes open to allow for drainage to avoid water stagnation).
A composition with a shabby-chic style: succulent plants placed on various shelves of a cake stand in a vintage style.
Terrariums with succulent plants are becoming more and more popular, so now it is easy to find even small terrarium containers ready to become showcases in which to exhibit these extraordinary plants.
When the old metal pudding mold is too rusty to use, you can convert it into a succulent planter.
And if your green compositions have tillandsiae as features - also known as "daughters of the wind" because of their ability to sustain themselves on only the humidity present in the air - they do not need soil, you can indulge yourself with ideas to expose them in home.
Even in the garden or on the balcony, succulent plants can make their mark, perhaps in an amphora with openings on the sides (like those often used to grow strawberries in).
And what about a turtle made of succulent plants?
