DIY Coffee Table Cactus Garden

October 28, 2015

I love the variation of cactus' and succulents. To me they are like jewels of the earth with their pristine shapes and their unexpected blooms. A while back I scored this really neat rectangular gold planter at a thrift store for like 10 cents and I knew I wanted to fill it with something special. A trip to home depot later I have this neat high-end looking coffee table piece for a grand total 25 bucks! 

You will need:-some sort of pot or bowl-cactus or succulents-potting soil-decorative rocks 

You will need:

-some sort of pot or bowl

-cactus or succulents

-potting soil

-decorative rocks 

If whatever planter you choose does not have holes you must add them! Holes are crucial for drainage when watering your cactus. I used a hammer and nails to poke a couple across the bottom.

Add your potting soil nearly to the rim. You need to add enough dirt to cover the plants roots entirely.

Decide on your placement and be careful not to stab yourself!

Welcome, my name is Mercedez! My husband Nathan, our little pup Thomas, and I just moved into the country outside of Austin, TX. We purchased our first home and haven't stopped renovating since! Follow along as I share my all of my favorite things in life; recipes, DIY's, beauty stuff, fashion, interior design, and so much more! 

I'm at a point in my life where getting a table runner on sale makes the day worth living.....hahaha Today Id like to be back in Saint Tropez. Everyone go follow my floral design Instagram. Ready, set, go! @theheirloomtable Down by the lake with my love. ☕️ bigger than my face. I need it today. Throwback to the good days at home in California. Sometimes, most of the time, I really miss it. I bought this 10 million dollar water bottle because it looked cool. 😒 Making salsa watching the rain😌 It's 82 degrees and raining. In Texas 82 degrees feels like sweater weather. One more house picture cause I'm loving our new living room. So much brighter and cozier than the last ❤️ I love our throw pillows! My kitchen sink window makes me so happy 😍
