Succulents in a Beautiful Mexican Pottery

     I spotted this beautiful colorful Mexican Pot at the store last week. Since, I went to a Cacti Farm last week and ended up bringing some cacti and succulents home this pot was perfect. It's bright with many different colors.

   Not much  to say other than I love how colorful and beautiful it came out!

                                                        With colorful gravel on top!

Thanks for stopping by!

Succulents Wall Garden




 More Succulents! Yes,  I have been wanting to do one of these Hanging wall Succulents for a while now. Last week we changed our wedding picture frame to a more Modern frame instead of Traditional frame type we had. Once, I changed our wedding picture, I knew what I was going to do with my old frame.  Gold in color and I spray painted it Red. Next, was hubby's job to work on the frame project.  This was the only picture I took during the time he was working on the border frame part. (There are many great  tutorials online)

   Once, he finished that I got my potting soil, moss and succulents. As, you can see in the picture I added the potting soil down. Then I spread out the moss on top. Next, I started planting the succulents. I started with the big ones first and then with smaller sizes.
    Now that I finished adding all the succulents in, I will leave the frame laying down straight for at least 2-3 weeks. Due to the weight I am nervous about hanging it up, but I will have faith in my husband as he says not to worry about that. Even if we won't be able to hang it up I am sure it would still look lovely leaning up against the wall in our back yard patio. 
I love the outcome of it!

l'll do another follow up on this post in a couple weeks when they're ready to be hung!

Have a blessed day!
