Succulents

There is a warehouse in Gowanus, Brooklyn where you can buy cast-off props from wrapped movies, television shows, broadway plays, and music videos called Film Biz Prop Shop. My boyfriend ended up scoring a large, canoe-shaped, metal container and wanted to create a succulent garden in it. He enlisted my help and this is what we came up with!

 

Just like starting a terrarium, because there were no holes in the container we added a layer of rocks for drainage and then a layer of Espoma Organic Cactus Mix.

 

Next, we laid out the goods to see what arrangement we liked best.

 

When buying plants sometimes you get more than what you're paying for. One of our succulents ended up being six different little plants.

 

This little surprise made our succulent scape even better.

 

When creating a succulent landscape remember to pay attention to the type of soil each plant needs.
