Succulents in a Shell

 

 

 

Hello everyone,

 

 

At this time of year, I have to take care of my roses...

pruning... replacing the soil in many pots...

Of couse, I know that...I have to...

But I'm reluctant to do yardwork outside due to this cold weather.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, the lazy gardener decided to spend time planting succulents indoors:)

 

The pot I used was a shell-shaped one.

 

 

 

 

I love those white thin leaves with dots. They're like butterflies, don't they?

 

It's always fun to choose succulents thinking about colors and textures:)

 

 

But it took only 30 minutes to plant them.

So...

It's about time I go out in the garden and prune roses...

 

Hmm...

 

The wind is picking up...

Hmmm

I decided not to...
 

I'll definitely do it tomorrow...:)

I think I said the same phrase yesterday, too...hahaha...

 

 

 

 

 

Succulents in a Wire Basket

I got a tiny wire basket from one coin shop.

 It costs only 100 yen (about $1 or so)

Putting some moss in it to use it as a planter.

And then add some soil.

The plants I selected were my favorite succulents,:)

This is the time to put these succulents pots outside.

Spring has finally come:) 

Canned Succulents

Recently, I'm into painting various things. 

I tried to paint a tin of tuna with acrylic paint to use it as a plant pot.

So I made some small holes at the bottom.

Firstly I painted pink beige and smoky green.

Secondly overpainted this Cracked paint which can get the top coat cracked.

And then overpainted ivory...

 

After a couple of minutes...

 Cracked!!!

Wiping it softly with wet cloth, you can peel the ivory paint

and the pink and green base will come out.

What kind of plants would you plant in this tiny pot?

What I planted were... 

 Succulents!

 

And then I put this little wire ladder

which I made:)

 

Finished!!!

These succulents are look like roses, aren't they?

Succulent Jewel Box

When I went to one of  my favorite antique shops last week, I got a vintage box.

But  I was wondering how to use it...

I came up with some idea!

How about planting succulents?

In winter, I'm relactant to do anything in the garden.

So I decided to plant tiny little succulents in the box.

I think it's like a jewel box...

I wanna keep planting with another vintage goods:)

Succulents in a Soap Tray

I especially love those succulent babies.

Some flower buds are growing...

Some are turned red...

I planted them in a soap tray...

enjoying the color variation:)

Succulents in an antique coffee cup

I love succulents.

 Especially in the middle of the winter,

 

I like spending time to plant some succulents indoors.

These tiny little sedum flowers make me smile :)

I planted them in a little antique coffee cup.
