Here are tips for creating super easy and super fake succulent pots!
Did you know that I’m a killer of all things green?
I’m not even ashamed about this anymore.
I make no apologies.
My name is April, and I am incapable of watering things.
Since I can’t even keep succulents, which are a type of cacti, alive, I decided to go the fake route this time.
I know what you’re thinking. Who can’t keep cacti alive?
Me. That’s who.
I found these lovely sprigs of succulents at Michael’s. I think it’s odd to see sprigs of succulents…but whatev.
I easily popped the tops off of the sprigs, which gave me little succulents to work with. I stuffed some “grassy filler stuff” into some mercury glass votives before I arranged the succulents on top.
My dining room centerpiece couldn’t escape a little succulent-action.
My succulents aren’t the only fake or faux plants around here…
My fake-springy flowers look quite pretty, no? Lovely soft pink!
I can’t wait to share my whole spring mantel with you next week.
I still have a few things to finish up, but I love the way its coming along!
So, now that I’ve shared all of my fake stuff,
what is fake in your house?
{Be very careful how you answer that question…HA!}

they look awesome. I’ve been trying really hard to keep things alive in my house. Apparently all living things need water, who knew. lol
I know! So annoying! 😉
Very cute April! Sometimes fake is much better, and definitely easier 🙂
Thanks, Erin! 🙂
i’m horrible at keeping plants alive too. I planted succulents last summer in little pots around the house. and wouldn’t you know it? Mine died too….so I replaced them with the fake ones from hobby lobby…and real dirt. No one knows! 🙂
That really cracks me up that you put real dirt in! That is so genius!!! 🙂
I bought the same sprig of succulents at Michaels for a recent project. Yours looks beautiful!
Thanks, Denise! What are you planning for yours? 🙂
LOVE! For someone who has a house with limited sun, this would be perfect for me!
It would be perfect! 🙂
Okay, I completely need some fake succulents too. I have only ever kept one house plant alive and I am not quite sure how I did that. Thanks for the tips, I’m heading to Michaels:)
I’m so glad I’m not the only one! 🙂
love how you are using the stacked plate holder for decor — so cute.
Thanks, Angela! That was a spray-painted Goodwill find! I couldn’t believe my luck! 🙂
I can’t wait to see your whole spring mantel! This is all super cute!
Thanks, Nicole! 🙂
Oh how cute! I love how these fakers look!
They look great. I couldn’t even tell that they were fake. I’m glad I’m not the only one that kills anything that’s green. Thanks for the great idea 🙂
