A small succulent garden

I had these small glass vessels and thought they would make a great mini garden with succulents. I used little pumice stones in the bottom for water drainage, then filled them with soil and planted the succulents. The first little garden I gave to a friend of mine and used Echeveria plant, it's a very easy plant to grow, every leaf that falls off grows new leaves and roots even if it falls to the floor!

The second in the last photo is mine. I made it using leaves from different kinds of succulents and though all through the winter they showed no sign of growing they practically doubled in size over the summertime.

Wishing you a lovely weekend,

Planting seeds

I bought a box of biscuits the other day and after I ate them I looked at the plastic container they were packaged in. I figured I could reuse it to plant some calla lily seeds and freesia seeds. First I made lots of little holes in the bottom with a pin. Then I filled it half way with soil and put in the seeds, filled with another layer of soil , watered, put in little tags and I'm all done! Now all they need is sunshine and water :-) We'll keep track of their progress and post more photos.
You can see more creative spaces right here!
