Halloween is turning my black thumb green.
Last week I shared my little pumpkin patch I planted as an experiment. (One I'm expecting to end badly...) This week I have a fun idea that can turn any living space a little spooky.
But first, I want to talk about your Halloween junk. And I mean junk in the most loving way possible because we all know...we have a little too much Halloween, right? But let's get more specific: by junk I mean the odds and ends in your Halloween collection that you can never seem to find a spot for come October.
That's where today's post starts.
Just a few weeks ago, one of my coworkers gifted me a clear skeleton mug. The moment I saw him...I had a vision. I knew he would never hold Witches' Brews. He was going to have a much different purpose.
So fun, right? Succulents are great little plants that come in small enough sizes... you can tuck them inside just about anything - including all those Halloween items you're not sure what to do with!
And, best of all for me, that's pretty difficult to kill!
What a perfect use for this cup. I found one other Halloween item in my collection that lent itself well to planting succulents, and I love how both turned out. They're helping keep the Spooky Little Apartment, well, spooky! But more on that in just a minute...
Here's a look inside my Halloween succulent planting process:
I also amassed a little collection of these cauldrons, so I thought planting a succulent in one would be perfect.
My succulents!
I LOVE this one.
And I love the coloring on this one - purple and spooky!
This one totally looks like something a witch would grow.
He just needs a worm crawling through there to be extra spooky!
What would you plant a spooky succulent in around your home?
