Succulent Pots
So I’ve wanted to experiment with succulents for a very long time, but I’ve never had a great place to put them. Well, after my hubs was kind enough to put up some cute wire shelves by a kitchen window, I finally had a place for them! So began my hunt for succulent plants. Turns out it wasn’t that hard. Menard’s had a special running so I got 2 plants for about 2 bucks each!
My next step was finding something to plant these in. I didn’t really want to buy anything else since I was sure I had something tucked away within the bottomless pit…I mean super organized stash of cute decor. Turns out I did have a few little pots and crocks that would be perfect. I found several little glazed crocks that were my grandmother’s along with a cute little blue and white painted pot that we had found on our honeymoon way back when. Succulents don’t need a ton of room, so these small containers were going to be perfect!
Planting those suckers literally only took about 5 minutes. It was as easy as dropping them into the pots. A few of the smushy leaflings (the technical term for succulent leaves) fell off in the process so I just threw those into little guys in another pot with some dirt, because fun fact, each smushy leafling is a seed! You won’t need to water these much, maybe just a little bit once per week.Voila! I now have some adorable little succulent babies in my window adding some classy, country charm to my kitchen! I am now hoarding any cute containers I could use…coffee cans, tea tins, and random tea cups from thrift stores come to mind. Hmm…maybe I need another shelf ;).
Supplies:
Succulent plants (or seed) – Found in most home improvement stores
