As y'all know it's winter here in the southern hemisphere,
so I'm always on the lookout for some greenery in the decor.
Succulents in a bowl are a much needed pop of nature during the cold, bleak wintery days.
I selected two baby succulent plants from the garden centre.This fish bowl was in the blog bit's and pieces I might need one day cupboard. I gathered some stones from the garden path...
and placed those in the base of the glass bowl The next layer was a quality potting mix,
into which the little succulents were planted. This one is a baby plant off a succulent in the garden. The next step once the plants were in the bowl was... To add a layer of white decorative pot plant stones.
The bowl was placed on a wooden tray with a shabby green paper base.
(I got this from The Warehouse for $12 in a sale).
Just remember there is no drainage in a planter like this,
and the plants are succulents, so minimal watering is required.
These plants get afternoon sun for 5 hours, sited on this table.
You need to move them to a sunbath area regularly if sunlight is limited. Some wonderful living decor for the winter months.
