The Clever DIY Garden Project You Haven't Considered

Gardening can turn a boring piece of dirt into a lively place filled with bright flowers green plants and tasty vegetables. A lot of people around the globe have started doing it because it helps them feel better and stay in shape while also taking their minds off things. But even though many people who love gardening have tried things like making pots planting flowers or growing vegetables there is one unique idea you might not have considered: A homemade frame for succulents.

That's right you got it right. A succulent frame is like a living decoration that brings a fresh and natural look to your space whether it's outside or inside. This gardening project saves money and space while giving you plenty of room to try out your own ideas and show off your unique style. You can put them on a garden fence a patio wall or even inside your home to make the space feel more lively.

Succulents are usually simple to take care of but making a healthy succulent arrangement takes some skill. This is a simple guide that will show you how to create your own succulent frame.

To start, collect the things you need: You will need a wooden picture frame that has a bit of depth some cactus soil some sheet moss some chicken wire a few succulent clippings in different shapes sizes and colors an old canvas for painting and a staple gun.

Start by taking the glass out of the frame and then attach the chicken wire to the front by stapling it tightly to the frame. Now grab your old painting canvas and place it at the back of your frame. This will give you a sturdy foundation for the soil and plants.

Get your soil mix ready now. Succulents like soil that is sandy and drains well. Mixing cactus soil with regular garden soil will work great for them. Put the soil mix into your frame and then push the sheet moss down on the soil under the chicken wire. The moss helps hold the soil together and stops it from washing away.

Now that your frame is set up you can start the enjoyable part which is putting in your succulents. Make some holes in the moss and dig down into the dirt below then put your succulent cuttings in there. Try using various colors and sizes to make a pattern or design if you want. Make sure the plants are close together and stable.

You should keep in mind that it takes a while for fresh succulent cuttings to settle in. Make sure the frame stays flat and only water a little until they get used to their new surroundings. This might take a couple of weeks. When you think the roots are strong enough you can show off your DIY succulent frame.

The great thing about this gardening project is that you can change it however you want. You can pick any type of frame whether it is large or tiny shaped like a square or a rectangle and it can be new or old-fashioned. You can make a simple black and white piece or something full of bright colors and different feels. What really matters is that it highlights how you garden in your own way.

This fun gardening project brings some greenery into any room and doesn't need much space so it's great for small homes and apartments. Step out of the usual and give your home a fresh vibe with this fun gardening idea.
