Here's a simple and easy-to-make succulent arrangement that is sure to grow...
My goddaughter and her husband recently had their house blessing in Lancaster. I wanted to give them something that I can personally make, that is adorable, and that will keep growing. When I searched for possible DIY house warming gifts, a live succulent arrangement was a top result.
Since I don't have a green thumb and all that I have in the backyard are barely surviving pots of various succulents, I went ahead and started cutting seven varieties that seemed to have good plump leaves. Then I went into the garage to find any container that still looks good and could serve as a planter.
I did find a white square bowl that I have used as a fruit serving bowl in its prior life, a few feet of leftover burlap ribbon, and some potting soil in the backyard. This gift did not cost me a dime, plus, who knew that these small pieces of cuttings in a simple white bowl can bring joy!
Here are the names and photos of the seven varieties in this succulent arrangement.
When I saw her reaction as we walked in the door, it felt like I was giving her a priceless gem. I am so happy for her on her new milestone as a homeowner and even happier that she knows how to appreciate a labor of love. I look forward to seeing this succulent arrangement grow and multiply in their home.
