Plant Labels Are For Gardens Both Big and Small: Using Succulents in Small Containers

Planters 1When you have interesting plants you want to show them off with plant labels. Succulents have such graceful shapes and such rosy colors on their edges, they add unique texture to your landscape. While some plants only look good growing straight out of your yard’s soil, succulents look great in many little places. Plant labels can identify them in either big gardens or little containers.

People have used many interesting containers in which to grow succulents. Items that others may throw out with the trash have made some pretty ingenious containers.

With miniature little flower heads, succulents look enchanting in a little fairy garden. Fairy gardens of large and small succulents can be tucked in a little spot in the garden where plant labels can identify different varieties. Or a small grouping of little succulents can be contained in a mixing bowl-sized world. Add some fairies, little benches and other miniatures and the succulents become bushes, trees and a lush field of flowers.

Why throw out that old rusty tackle box when it can become a masculine flower box? The hobby of gardening is shared by both men and women. While men may not be as interested in planting fairy gardens, there are options for planting succulents on the more masculine side. Succulents arranged in shelves that used to hold hooks and sinkers can cascade down in multi-level boxes.

Old boots with enclosed toes can sprout the fleshy leaves of succulents. Either women’s or men’s boots will work, but they look best in shoes that have shoe lace holes. Then your plants can stretch through the soil and spread out the shoe leather in a hefty clump of fleshy leaves. Some succulent types can even cascade over the side.

Birds aren’t the only species that can be found in a bird cage. Many varieties of succulents clustered together in a bird cage look beautiful from all sides. Even in a bird cage, stainless steel markers can blend with the silver walls and look crisp and clean. These cages can resemble hanging baskets as clusters of leaves trail down through the bars like cords of braided hair.

Items like watering cans, chair planters and garden benches are all items that have been used to house a miniature garden of succulents. With some imagination and creativity you can create a world of miniatures, too.
