I grew up in a home that had plants in every corner, flowers in the front yard and a huge vegetable garden in our
backyard. I loved helping my grandpa take care of the living plants. He would tell me talking to them would help
them grow, and it really did work. He had the best garden! I always have fresh blooms in my home,
but I thought it would be nice to have some beauty that’s not too quick to fleet. Succulents and cacti
are perfect for this! They are pretty low maintenance and come in beautiful, quirky, shapes and colors. Since
all of the plants outside are dead, I thought it was time to bring some life energy inside my office!
Here are some easy ways to pot succulents/cacti and decorate around your place…
First up! Pick your succulents & cacti. I kept pairings in mind and the size of each glass container.
Place gravel of your choice at the bottom of your container (you can use fish rocks too, they come in great shades).
This will provide drainage, succulents and cacti thrive in a dry environment.
Place a layer of cactus/succulent mix soil and remove plants from the pots. Place them how you like. No rules here!
Then, add a layer of sand to make it pretty!
I love freshening up the shelves in my office with new plant life.
Add any accents you see fit! My amethyst crystal wanted to hop in and hang with his new friends!
A minimal piece on its own can make a pretty statement as well.
My side desk (away from the computer), where I sketch and dream in front of my vision board.
I love how the plants and fragrance bring the space to life!

So fun!! I just bought a new planter for herbs last night! I'm so ready to see green & growing things again 🙂
Love your vision board too! 😉

This is such a lovely idea! And very fitting for me, since the succulents and cacti are the only plants that can survive my care :)) Love the pops of pink!
Thanks for the tips, Steph! I'm actually looking into getting so plants for my new apartment. I love cacti because they aren't so high maintenance.

So pretty in those glass vases! I have my succulents and cacti in little while pots that all have different subtle patterns. The best part is too, easy to manage these plants!!

I just recently bought two cacti, and while I am suuucch a noob when it comes to plants, I just love them! And I want to start getting more, but I'm overwhelmed so far with just two! haha
Love the decor so beautiful
