Are you a gardener? Can you grow plants easily? Well, if you can, I am a little jealous! I am not a good gardener. I wish I was. But I want to be. Really, I do. But, I have heard succulents are easy to grow, Let’s see if I can follow my own rules for succulent tips and care.
Another tip about succulents is that if a “blossom” breaks off, you can root them in water. They will start growing a root-kind of just like an avocado seed does. I decided to do just that with a few “blossoms” that broke off during our travelling.
For this shelf, I decided to use 2 of my old jars as vessels. I think they look pretty with hubby’s childhood marbles in the bottom.
Make sure the bottom of the “blossom” is in the water. Check your vessel often to be sure the plant is reaching the water. Also allow them get some natural light.
I added one to a green bottle for our bedroom. The bottle is filled to the top with water. And again, a sun lit area.
On the kitchen bar, my vessels are an old mason jar, an olive oil bottle and a small cup one of our daughters made in kindergarten. Perfect sun light here, too.
I hope we can stay connected:

Love your succulents and tips! I planted some in a old colander last summer and put them on my patio. I brought them inside for the winter and they are still looking good!
