beautiful as a succulent plant

 A picture is beautiful as a succulent plant



Colorful meats look like mini artworks with their beautiful, intricate shapes. Inspired by the life paintings of the Old Masters, here we show you how to plant a succulent pot to create your own garden art.


This succulent gardener is for the garden, so we use sempervivum meats (also known as house leaks and chicken and chicks). They are very easy to grow, spread very quickly, and come in a wide range of shapes and colors. The only thing these beautiful, colorful meats don’t really like is the water stagnation. We have successfully grown them on all kinds of humorous crops including our succulent hedgehog and our chicken wire, moss, and succulent toadstool.


What you need to create garden art with colorful meats.


Shallow terracotta pot to keep your view

Small terracotta pot or ceramic jug

Selection of outdoor succulent plants

Succulent compost

Topdressing like gravel or pot - we used colored fish gravel



Start by filling your pot with a decent layer or drain with gravel or stones. Succulent Plants Drought-resistant plants store water in their succulent leaves. They grow in dry, rocky conditions in natural habitats and are easy to maintain, but will rot if kept in very humid conditions.


Fill the pot with compost. I used succulent compost, which has a lot of grid mixture to help drain, but you can make your own by adding garden compost and a little grid or sand.



Now is the time to create your garden art. My inspiration came from old Master Still Life paintings and vases of flowers, so I tried to recreate them. I started by placing a small terracotta pot representing the vase for the colorful succulent bouquet.


Since I wanted my succulent gardener to be like a painting, I centered my arrangement away from a border to provide variation. Sempervivums spread quickly, so my bouquet will soon expand with fresh, baby succulent plants.



I chose a combination of different sizes and colors of flesh as the ‘flowers’ of the flower. Once they were stabilized, I added two pieces from a cage to complete my succulent art.


To complete my succulent image, I wore some colored fish gravel over my pot to give it a variation. This step is not necessary, but I think it overlaps the plant colors and completes the texture.


I think a horticultural cultivator made of colorful flesh gives a beautiful gift. This arrangement is already proud of my mom’s law house.

The key to wind plant survival is air circulation. Our windmill wire jellyfish are a great way to show off them, and they are made with a simple household item.


Cocotoma is a Japanese art of growing plants on moss balls. Traditionally, Cocodoma is formed by wrapping the roots of plants before tying the moss into the clay. The result is a beautiful but high-maintenance look. Here's how to make an easy, low-maintenance version out of old tennis balls and sheet moss. All the beauty of Kokotama moss balls without confusion and constant watering.
