DIY Succulents

May 15, 2012 ·

Slowly but surely I have been making my way through our yard, planting a little here and doing projects there.  My latest backyard project is the epitome of effortless!  I love succulents not only for their looks but for their super low maintenance nature.  They can handle the hot summer heat and my forgetfulness when it comes to watering.  I decided to put together a few succulent arrangements for our outdoor furniture before Cinco de Mayo and loved the way they turned out!

My containers and moss are from Rolling Greens and I found my succulents at the Home Depot.

Happy planting!

    What type of soil did you use?

      It was a cactus mix-- much better for the roots of succulents, as it drains much better than typical potting soil.

    Oh, I love it! And, I assume they are fairly easy to take care of - for us none green thumbers!
