As silly as this sentence sounds, Succulents are "in". haha These small little plants tend to be all over pinterest and 'blog lady' blogs and I want me some. And the best part about them, is the fun little containers you see them in, like tea cup, sugar bowls, old tins, pitchers.. etc.
SO last weekend, when my Dad and I went to the nursery to get a tree he wanted, I got myself some succulents. I am pretty confident I will kill them, but I am going to give it a go! ha! I got 3 to start, just to make sure I can keep them alive. (side note, due to the less hot summer we had, my ferns actually survived this summer in my hot house, they are not looking to great, but they are alive! WIN!)
I have not planted them or taken any pictures yet, so I leave you with some lovely internet images to make you want succulents too! : )
I planned on planting them this weekend, but I just read they shouldn't have typically dense soil, so I think I need to wait until next week and steal grab a handful of gravel or sand from work to add to the potting mix before planting them. (I am sure there is something better to use, but I am a lady on a budget.) Stay tuned for photos of what I bought.
oh that is so lovely, looks at those trailers....I might need a large urn of them on my patio at some point!
This fountain filled with them is amazing...I think I need an old fountain stat!
