Today my friend Charly and I spent our afternoon at East Austin Succulents, finding the perfect plants to make our own succulent container gardens! Not only did they have an amazing selection of succulents, air plants, and cacti there, but they also had some helpful tips for caring for my new little plants.
Rows and rows of succulents and cacti.
It was tough narrowing down which ones to get!
East Austin Succulents shares a space with Tillery Street Plant Co., which also has a great selection of beautiful plants.
Isn’t this giraffe planter awesome? It can be yours for about 500 bucks.
The container for the plants came from Target. At about 8 inches wide, and not too deep, it’s the perfect size for all 10 tiny plants. There is also a drainage hole at the bottom of the planter, which is important to prevent overwatering.
Fuzzy details. That one in the front is so soft!
I’m so in love with my new little succulent garden. I plan on keeping it indoors on the dining room table. When I water it, I’ll leave it outside for a couple of days to get a little extra sun and not get too moist. The soil is a special blend that East Austin Succulent Garden makes, instead of regular potting soil.
I hope I can keep it healthy and beautiful for a long time to come!
