  • Hanging Mason Jar Succulents
  • Adding summer to the family room
  • Layering seashells on the base gives great drainage & adds a summery touch.

Hanging Mason Jar Succulents

I'm getting ready for summer and this project was a great way to bring the green indoors with a little bit of the beach too. ...»

Here's what you need:

Hanging Mason Jar (you can find the tutorial to create these on the link below)

Tiny Seashells

Potting Soil (I used one made for palms and cactus)

Succulents

I used the mini seashells as my base layer. Succulents don't like to sit in water, so you want something at the base to drain into... I thought with summer coming shells would be perfect!

Next a layer of potting soil.

Finish with your choice of succulents. I scored a 4 pack on Lowes clearance for only $1.

Lightly water about once a week, unless it's in a really warm space.

  • Succulents are a perfect plant for this kind of project.
  • My hypertufa planters from previous post
  • I used Playtex gloves as my mold
  • And florist wire wrapped around a pencil to make these cork screw things to use as "rebar" in the fingers
  • I slid the cork screws into the fingers and filled the glove with the hypertufa mixture
  • And after 7 days of curing, we have a hand

Can Someone Give Me A Hand?

I've been dying to try my hand at one of the hypertufa hand planters again this year. Last year I tried one and half my fingers fell off, so pretty much anything would be an improvement. ...»
Doubling the amount of Portland Cement in my normal hypertufa recipe plus adding the "rebar" appears to have made all the difference. My hands came out perfectly and are hard as a rock. Or cement.

The recipe for hypertufa can be found on Hometalk on this post - http://www.hometalk.com/1285023/making-light... or on my blog on this post - http://www.houseofhawthornes.com/2012/05/mak... .

  • There is a downloadable information sheet and recipes on the link.
  • These darlings come in several colors, I love all of them.
  • The happy round leaves just dance in the garden...and grow in and around other plants.
  • The small round leaves put me in the mind of lotus'....which we can't grow here...but nasturtiums grow almost everywhere.
  • How beautiful are these nasturtiums as a garnish next to my sauteed cabbage and roasted red peppers?

Nasturtiums

I've been growing nasturtiums for years in my garden. I love these versatile plants. Not only are they a savored favorite of the little hummingbirds, but they are chalked full of vitamins ...»
and nutrients. I use them for salads, garnishes and appetizers. The entire plant is edible...not to mention beautiful in the garden. #gardening

  • Easily age your terra cotta pots resulting in a beautiful aged patina.
  • Grab whatever paint you have on hand, think creamy antique colors, a sponge and wax.  The wax will protect it from moisture and make the pots more durable.
  • Mix the paint with a good amount of wax till smooth.
  • Take a sponge and apply the paint mixture onto the terra-cotta pot leaving certain areas of the pot lightly exposed.
  • That's it, I swear, took about 2 minutes per pot.
