I'm having so much fun bringing touches of summer inside my home.
I saw this great idea to Summer-ize your home in Better Homes and Gardens. A nice big over sized shell filled with succulents.
I was fresh out of giant oversized shells but I did have some small scallop shells. And since succulents are pretty hardy, I thought they might not mind a small little shell home.
I clipped some new growth off some of my established succulents and nestled them into the pebbles.
You can use them in a variety of ways.
A centerpiece
Décor
Or even place cards
If they take root, I’ll have to move them from their little starter homes. But for now, I’m enjoying them as they are.

I planted some succulents and brought them inside the other day too. One of my inspiration photos was a seashell planter, but I didn't have any lying around!

These are really sweet, Carolyn. I love succulents and have been looking for container ideas... these are great for starters! Thanks for sharing and I love "today's assignment!"
ReplyDeleteI adore succulents, and have a bunch of little cuttings in teacups and candle holders at my house - they're holding up pretty well. I love your use of the shells, so pretty.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea...Succulents are one of my favorite plants!!

Oh my word I am in love with these! So there is no need for any dirt - they will do fine in just pebbles? Seriously - how cool is that???
ReplyDeleteI love succulents since I have a black thumb :)
