DIY Succulents Composition

25.08.2016 Interesting ideas

Some refuse home plants due to the fact that their apartments do not differ in large areas. However, indoor flowers are not only beautiful, but also useful, because they saturate the air with necessary oxygen. What to do? Choose small plants, such as succulents and cacti. They do not require special care, but they cope with their tasks “perfectly” - they decorate a room and enrich O2 with air. You can plant cacti in ordinary pots, but this is pretty commonplace. But the composition of succulents is another matter! Today we will make a composition in a home waterfall that has failed.

We will need:

• a form for disembarkation (we recall, we took a failed home mini-waterfall, from which we previously removed the motor and disconnected all the wires);
• plants (we have cactus processes and Gasteria baby);
• soil mixture;
• drainage (expanded clay, pieces of brick, crushed stone);
• water.

How to create a beautiful composition of succulents with your own hands

1. We prepare everything that will be necessary in the process.

2. We put stones in the recesses of the home waterfall, which should act as drainage. If you do not have such a design, then show your imagination, you will surely find the form suitable for creating the composition.

3. We fill the soil mixture. For selected plants, loose, well-permeable water and air soil is ideal. It is sold in a flower shop, but you can cook it yourself - for this, mix in equal proportions the sheet earth, turf and sand.

4. We make deepenings in the earth and we plant our plants.

5. Carefully water, not forgetting that cacti have very weak roots, and for some they are completely absent. We decorate with stones and, if desired, with different figures.

6. A composition of succulents is ready to decorate your desktop!
