Hey Lovelies!
This week’s craft was
one of my favorites so far. I’ve been looking for succulents and tillandsias
everywhere and I finally found them at the Bradford Green House Garden Gallery
for a decent price. Before planting, make sure to do a little research on how
to look after your succulent. These plants need to be watered regularly and
they need a certain amount of sunlight. This blog, A pair & a spare explains exactly how to look
after you’re succulent. Succulents look excellent anywhere in the house/office, they also work great as gifts for friends and family.
Items you’ll need:
Jars
Succulents
Planting Soil
Sand
Charcoal
Stones
Step 1: Put stones in the bottom of your jars. The stones
create a filtering system so your succulent doesn’t drown. Make sure to put 1-2
inches of stones in the bottom.
Step 2: Now place some soil on the rocks, use your hands to
pack down the soil. Now you can put charcoal and sand down. I didn’t use
charcoal or sand because I couldn’t find them anywhere!
Step 3: With the dirt or sand down, place the succulent on top of the
dirt. Make sure to pack more dirt around the edges of the succulent so that the
succulent is snug. The soil is usually moist so just add a little water to your
succulent once its planted. I wanted my succulents to sit deeper into my jars
but the leaves wouldn’t fit in. However, I liked the way my succulents turned
out!
**These succulents would also work great for wedding
centerpieces!
