Nature in the home

27 Mar 2013







I bought these succulents a few weeks ago now and the middle one has since started flowering. I love the coral pink colour of the flowers on those long stems and the greyish leaves. These are currently sat on top of a sideboard in the bedroom, though I am trying to get the room finished and make that into a little work space, so they might well find another home.

The little succulents in my letter planter have started growing already. I was a little worried they might have all died a few days later, after being separated and having such little space, but they seem to be pretty happy in there! It will be interesting to see what it looks like in a few weeks.


Linking in with Lou of little green shed and her Nature in the home series.

    Gorgeous photographs, you must be very good with your cacti plants (I am rather jealous, I have never managed to make any of my cacti bloom)! /maria x

      Ha, I think it must just be luck as I really haven't done anything with them since I bought them - I think they've only been watered once! x

      They're super easy... so far anyway! I just plonked them in some new pots the same size and watered them a couple of weeks ago and they've just been left since then. I'm hoping they will be like my money plant, I never remember to water it and I've had it for years! xx

    Lovely photos, those pink flowers are very pretty. I really like succulents and want to buy a few, they're so ornamental looking.
