Container Succulents: Creative Ideas for Beginners

Learn how to care for and display individual succulent varieties, or get creative with groupings that combine multiple plants with complementary colors, shapes, and sizes. This book covers all the basics of container selection and succulent care to ensure healthy plants, including how to: use the colors and textures of your containers to create stunning visual combinations, repurpose old cans and kitchenware to create interesting and healthy new homes for your plants, use unconventional and openwork containers (like an antique birdcage) to add interest and dimension, use traditional planters and baskets to create interesting design effects, and much more! Each arrangement includes a "floor plan" showing you how to mix the colors, shapes and textures in ways that are pleasing to the eye and healthy for the plants. A reference guide to over 120 succulent varieties explains the different plants' characteristics to help you create compatible groupings. (Short Discount)
