I have so much fun dressing up the front porch with various shades of green and love the life it gives to our house. It’s no secret I’m a cactus/succulent lover, and not just because I’m able to keep them alive. I love the different sizes, shapes, and textures. argument essay thesisI found these old cans at an antique store two years ago and finally put them to use!

Succulents do not need a lot of root space because they store most of their nutrients and water in their leaves, so don’t let a smaller can be a deterrent. This gives my table a little pop of color and is and adds some decor elements to the porch.
I water these about once per week/week and a half. I’ve watered too much before and it’s killed them. They also need plenty of sun. Since our house faces the east, I sometimes have to set them out to get more sunlight.

Jen is the owner and was incredibly sweet as well as great to work with. I love how much heart she has for this place. It’s such a unique business. I was telling her that I would be over the moon to have something like this where we live.
