Turn a Old Basket Into a Basket Full of Succulents
by
Kristin
I found a old basket in the garage and decided to update it with some spray paint and succulents. Would make a perfect housewarming gift.
First I spray painted the basket with a a dark brown.
Next I cut some holes into the plastic so the soil can drain easily and lined the basket.
I filled it with dirt and began adding my succulents.
Next I arranged each of the succulents, making sure to add height in the back and have the overhanging succulents in the front.
So easy and pretty. The basket will most likely only last 2 years but you can just very easily transplant the succulents and start again.

Those are called portulaca or moss rose, easy to grow from seed.

Hi, would be very grateful if you please tell me the name of this floer plant.. I have been looking everywhere but couldn't find it :(
I have a large basket and will put plants in it. I live in Southwest Florida. I also know from experience that basket will probably last a couple years. However, I will spray a sealant on the basket. Has anyone had good results with that?
