Succulents come in so many sizes, unusual shapes, colors and textures that it is hard to decide what to buy and how to pot them up. So, here we have a few tips that we hope will help that process become easier and at the same time, create lovely arrangement.
First you want to decide on what type of container and style of succulent arrangement you want. How about a themed display like "camping", "the beach", at the farm, or a certain type of colored plants. This really is the time you can get creative and crafty. Making a themed arrangement is fun and very easy.
So, pick a container that adds to the display. A old metal picnic basket makes a wonderful "at the sea" arrangement. Any flowerpot will also work. Just remember that it doesn't need to be deep and it must have drain holes. No succulent likes to sit in standing water. The roots will drown and the plant will die immediately. Standing water also attracts fungus so that is never good.
Now when selecting the type of succulents, you can choose all of one color. Do you want just large, green plants that all look the same and require the same amount of sun and water. How about creating a beach potted arrangement with plants that look like coral and seaweed. With bold colors and spiky branches.
Maybe a farm theme where you place a toy tractor in the center of the potted succulent arrangements and surround it with moss for grass and plants that look like fields of corn. You don't always have to pick special succulents to add. You can use seashells, colored rocks and little ceramic animals or fish to the potted succulent container to make a themed statement.
As a last point you never want to mix plants that don't go together. If a plant needs direct sunlight and very little water you don't want to mix it in the same container with plants that need partial shade and more water. Just read the plant tags on each variety and see what you can put together to create a wonderful, playful succulent arrangement.
