Do you become green with envy when scrolling through Pinterest, or is that just us? The home decor inspo runs deep with succulents and we want our space to look as good! Using succulents as decor is a great way to bring the outdoors in and increase the freshness of your space. Major perk of decorating with succs: it won’t break the bank!
Once you understand basic succulent care, they become a super low maintenance pop of green in your room. Succs come in so many shapes, sizes, and colors and truly compliment any space.
Remember to take a peek at your particular succulent’s care instructions to make sure you pick the right place to set your succ!
Ideas for Succulent Decor
Before heading to the store, look around your home for potential succulent pots! Things like tea cups, mugs, and old candle jars look cute – and won’t cost you a dime. Reminder, If your pot does not have a drainage hole be careful not to overwater your succ. Try less frequent waterings and do not completely drench the plant. When your bbs are thirsty, they will let you know.
1. Succulent Terrarium
Take your succulent stylings up a notch! An open air terrarium is a perfect summer gardening project and all the rage on Pinterest.
