Transform your dwelling with 8 succulent decorating strategies
Succulents, with their unique and captivating appearances, have become increasingly popular as decorative elements in indoor spaces. These low-maintenance plants thrive in dry environments and can add a pop of colour to interiors, making them perfect for those seeking a touch of nature without the hassle of high-maintenance greenery.
One creative way to incorporate succulents into your home decor is by crafting "forever" succulent decorations. By combining glass beads with terra cotta pots, you can create a lasting, low-maintenance display that mimics natural succulents but lasts indefinitely. This unique approach offers a charming, low-maintenance alternative to live plants, while still maintaining the aesthetic appeal of succulents.
Another idea is to design unique succulent and cactus arrangements tailored to specific spaces such as window sills, patios, or fairy gardens. These arrangements can add charm and greenery with a variety of textures and heights, making them a perfect addition to any room. For those who enjoy a more whimsical touch, a succulent treehouse fairy garden can be created using upcycled materials as a base, incorporating succulents into enchanting miniature scenes that enliven a room with storytelling and nature-inspired art.
Creating planters from broken pots is another eco-friendly option for charming, rustic succulent displays. The fragmented pots offer an artistic, recycled vibe, making them perfect for personalized home decor or a standout garden piece indoors. For those who enjoy both plants and building, the LEGO Botanical Succulents Set allows you to build artificial succulent displays by hand, blending playful creativity with indoor greenery aesthetics—ideal for desks or shelves.
Gravel or small pebbles should be added to the bottom of the container for drainage in a dish garden. Succulents can be used to make a dish garden in a shallow container like a dish or bowl. An old birdcage can be repurposed as a unique succulent planter using a coconut liner and potting soil. To water succulents in a frame, lay the frame flat on a table and spritz water on the roots.
Hanging succulent arrangements can be created using a mountable tray or decorative pot, threads, and scented candles. Vertical succulent gardens can help transform blank spaces and create a lush oasis, even in small living spaces or rentals. These can be placed indoors or outdoors.
DIY Terrariums are versatile decorations that are easy to make and maintain. To make a terrarium, choose a container, layer gravel, charcoal, potting soil, and succulents, then top with white pebbles or moss. Framing a succulent garden is an easy way to create living artwork. Succulents can even be used as living bookends by placing them in glass cylinder vases and setting them at the ends of book displays.
