SUCCULENTS IN WINE CORKS

Using wine corks as decor is an inexpensive (possibly even free) way to add some sophistication to your home or event. You can upcycle your used wine corks or purchase unused corks at a craft store. Cork planters create a cute and classy way to display tiny plants you’ve propagated yourself. These make great favors for your next wine-tasting party or book club!

WHAT YOU NEED

WHAT TO DO

  1. Drill a hole as deep into your cork as possible without drilling all the way through.

  2. Fill the hole with succulent soil.
  3. Choose a small succulent to plant in your cork.
  4. Use a pencil or other long pointy tool to create a hole in your soil for the stem and roots of your plant to fit into.
  5. Plant your succulent!

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Keep your cork planters in bright indirect sunlight and water every couple of days. Only a small amount of soil will fit in your cork, so it will dry out quickly.

TIP!

Get creative and add interest to your wine cork planters by gluing moss to the tops, or create cute hanging planters by adding magnetic strips to the backs. You might even use them as little centerpieces by tying multiple cork planters together with twine!
