Happy Wednesday! Lately, I’ve been using a lot more faux plants in my designs, including some really beautiful faux succulents. One of my favorite ways to display these faux succulents is by arranging them in stone planters — I love the look!
This is a beautiful, yet simple, way to add something extra to your kitchen island, entry or dining area. For this client’s home, I went with this handsome limestone planter and selected mainly purple and gray succulents that would complement the color tones in her kitchen. Below, you can see how easy it is to put an arrangement like this together.
(I was in a bit of a rush putting this together so I apologize for the quality of the photos.)
- Cut the floral styrofoam to fit the inside of the planter — this will help hold the succulents in place.
2. Add moss on top to camouflage the foam.
3. Next, add your faux succulents.
You can cut, or bend, each to the size you need. I always believe more is better, so I ended up adding about 15 succulents to this 10″ x 5″ planter.
