Beat Seasonal Sadness
Often times in winter, people experience a disconnect with nature and crave the outdoors. This winter, bring nature inside, and get your fill with succulents.
Also, I made all succulent arrangements in the pictures below!
Why Succulents Don't SUCC
Succulents are thick plants, usually containing water in their leaves (they are native to the desert, and are used to retaining water). They are very hardy and easy to maintain; they just need water once a week and indirect sunlight! They can live inside all winter long.
You can arrange succulents however you want, in whatever container, cup, mug, or toy that you have. They are fun to plant and easily brighten up any room they are placed in.
Succulents come in many shapes, sizes, and colors. You can find them at garden supply stores, local florists, and sometimes department stores. Search around for good deals; I generally like to follow this pricing rule: $4 maximum for 2-inch plants, and $6 maximum for 3-inch plants. If you find a really good deal, scoop up as many as you can! They can live all through the year if you take care of them.
Perfect Gifts
Succulents are the perfect gift for any occasion. Plant in a cup or mug that fits the person or the holiday, and personalize it.
Happy planting!
