You can do a lot of fun things with bowls. Inside, but of course also outside. These beautiful objects, from large to small, bring your interior and garden to life! A bowl of different materials and structures is completely contemporary. A bowl with a mix of succulents, a mini glass pond with floating flowers: you can come up with anything. We are happy to help you on your way and show you what you can do with bowls.

 You don't need much space for a green eye-catcher . With a bowl full of different plants you can make the most beautiful combinations and bring your home to life. This little happiness fits everywhere. A real happier in winter!

First you take the bowl. Put a plastic bag in here.
Pour in expanded clay balls (about 1/3 of the bowl)
Fill the rest of the bowl with the cactus potting soil

Next, stick the large log into the ground, just a little bit away from the center
Remove the succulents from the plastic pots and put them in the soil


Just press firmly: make sure the plants are well in the ground. Look carefully where you place what, everything must be connected.

Take the lying log into account. This one must have the space. Place it on the chosen spot. Press it a little longer so that it is firmly in the sand.

Cut off the protruding piece of plastic
Cover the plastic and cactus soil with a combination of sand and glass stones
Avoid revealing the plastic and potting soil


Is there sand on your plants? Brush it off carefully with a brush, for example.

Finally, add the Tillandsia for the finishing touch

    This succulent planter is gorgeous. Love how you lined the bowl with plastic before adding the soil and plants. Beautiful for any room in the house.
