What is Your Succulent Style?

Jonathan Sallach
by Jonathan Sallach
Don't get me wrong, I love terrariums! However, there are so many different ways to use succulents and container arrangements can be just as cool!
This group is all based on reusing common containers from the kitchen. I love how diverse in color and texture that succulents have!
A good arrangement has something that unifies them together. With planters, you can either find some element in the plants (color, shape, scale) or the containers. In this case, I picked three containers with gold elements. The faux mercury glass, the gold rimmed glass dish, and the gold skull tie in three wildly different succulent plants. In the summer this could be used indoors or out!
For good measure, here are some terrariums. I love combining different sizes of glass terrariums and varying what is in them. Some with a single plant and some with multiple. Forgive the photography as this was taken in the greenhouse with my phone camera.

    I'm new to succulents, two things drew me to them. 1) I probably can't kill them, sounds like they'll do well in the hot Texas sun, and 2) it seems they'll grow in all sorts of containers and that's pretty fascinating! I'm a tea cup nut, so....
