Compositions using succulent plants: 11 creative decorating ideas

Succulent plants are a very large family of varieties that have some of the most incredible shapes and colors in the plant kingdom. They require very little soil to take root, and are also quite easy to care for. All these incredible characteristics make it obvious why they are a category of plants loved all over the world.

In particular, they are perfect for creating truly creative compositions, as they can be planted inside containers of all kinds, thus allowing recycled objects to be transformed into small, garden masterpieces. Take a look at the ideas below:

Instead of a colored cushion, use plants: putting them in the seat of an old, wrought iron chair is an idea that is fascinating. It can be customized in many ways, and it also works with old, wooden chairs.

And what about something even bigger? Cover an entire armchair with cacti! It will not be ideal for sitting on, but it will certainly be the focus of any flower bed.

Cacti under a glass table top - it will bring the furniture to life.

Often these plants become the elements of murals and other vertical, artistic installations - fabulous when hung on walls.

If by chance you have old toys in the attic - such as trucks, trains and similar - you can fill them with succulent plants.

Even a tin bucket can accommodate an eye-catching arrangement of succulents.

There is something very elegant about turning a metal bird cage into a hanging planter, with all sorts of plants peeking out between the bars.

Inside the rubber clogs (Crocs), hanging on a wall: very unique!

And how about using the drooping fronds of some plants to mimic a person's hair (using an old plastic bottle for the face)?

Not just slippers / clogs can be used: even old, high-heeled shoes can become unique planters.

And there is no shortage of ideas using pieces of wood - even recycled wood -  to create frames to hang your succulents up with.

Would you like to have some of these compositions at home?
