Creative Containers for Succulents
by

(IC: blogger)
Succulents are very popular now. They are easy to grow, and easy to maintain. I'm not satisfied to plant in any old pot, I like to get out and scour the flea markets, and antique shops for some creative ideas. These little reproduction vintage coffee, vegetable and fruit cans were the perfect find for less than 1.00 each.
Gather what you need to plant your containers. Plants, soil, container, hammer and nail (to create holes for drainage).
Add dirt, and plant a variety of succulents for interest. Hens and chicks, and trailing succulents provide varying heights and visual interest.
Place your containers outside or in a sunny window. Allow them to dry out between watering and turn occasionally.
