Hello everyone!
Growing up, I've always been surrounded by plants in the house because my mom has crazy green thumb skills. Unfortunately, I don't think I inherited her green thumb because I've already killed a bamboo plant during my undergrad years, and I've heard that those are virtually impossible to kill... you know me, always trying to do the impossible.. ha. ha..
Anyway, David and I are currently in the process of moving to a new place, and we have always talked about getting a puppy together. Unfortunately, the apartment doesn't allow us to keep pets, so I thought maybe we'll try a plant baby together?
and that is how our first plant baby was born!
I did some research, and learned that succulents and cacti are also pretty impossible to kill. Since I've already tried and killed the bamboo, I thought we'd try the other impossible-to-kill kind.
So I got all of the ingredients including the vase, potting soil, decorative rocks and sand, activated charcoal, and 3 different succulents, and got to work!
my new babies!
The process was really quite simple:
First, I put down some bigger rocks,
then, smaller rocks,
some activated charcoal,
then the succulents!
sigh.. my bangs never stay clipped back..
Tada~
the finished product!
Actually, I ended up putting down some white sand on top later, which also looked good. However, I don't mind the way it looks just like this =)
Wish us luck with our new plant baby! Hopefully this one survives!
Thanks for stopping by,
