Air cactus chessboards perfectly combine greenery and decor

Air cactus chessboards

If you're looking for that coffee table centerpiece, the air cactus chessboard trend has you covered. It allows you to show off your plant collection and sense of interior design style—along with your chess skills. With the popularity of checkerboard prints, shows like The Queen's Gambit, and the now-viral visuals of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone ("Not me, Hermione, you!") chess has entered mainstream pop culture. These chessboards in particular offer a fresh take on the decor trend, featuring air cactus in minimalist pots to mimic traditional chess pieces.

Varying in heights, styles, and cacti varieties, plant strips aren't just a clever way to show off your greenery—they actually work. Air cactus does not mind handling and is soft to the touch, which makes the game of chess especially attractive. A few plant enthusiasts are also drawn to other options: using miniature cacti in ceramic pots allows even prickly succulents to become usable playthings.

Potted cacti work effortlessly on a chessboard because they don't need frequent watering or drainage holes. If you're the proud keeper of several cacti varieties, you can easily create your own rotation on board. Sort your pieces by cactus type or choose different styles of pots so you can tell which chess piece it represents. (If you're working with Air Cactus, you don't need to worry about restarting.) Air Cactus chessboard designs can be minimalist, contemporary, or any aesthetic in between. Match yours with the overall style of your favorite room and combine other checkerboard elements with rugs or posters.

Another bonus: Packages of miniature air cacti usually go for a few dollars online, while mini pots typically cost between $1 and $5. Some social media users have shown how to take the trend outdoors by playing on oversized chessboards with full-sized plant pots. If you have too many succulents in medium-sized pots, turning them into outdoor entertaining can be a memorable party game or a fun weekend activity. Regardless of size, remember to soak your new chess pieces in the sink every time.

A successful small garden requires a big idea

You can let a large garden develop. And by 'large' I mean a garden more than 80 feet (25 m) long. All of the most successful small gardens I've seen lately have a strong idea behind them.

This principle applies regardless of shape, although many small gardens are wider than they are long. See here for general tips on the Shallow Wide Garden . Here are three successful small space garden ideas to inspire you. A plant-lover's garden After visiting Philip Ostenbring's garden (open once a year for NGS), I realized that a small outdoor space for unusual plants is a wonderful display area.
