SUCCULENT BIRDCAGE

Birdcages are a classic garden accessory. You may have seen them filled with candles or overflowing with flowers, but nothing is quite as showstopping as a birdcage spilling over with gorgeous, cascading succulents. Look for inexpensive vintage birdcages at local antique shops or garage sales.

WHAT YOU NEED

• Birdcage
• Moss
• Pebbles
• Soil
• Succulents

WHAT TO DO

1. Line the perimeter of your birdcage with moss to create a barrier to keep your soil inside.

   

2. Add a layer of pebbles and well-draining soil.

   

3. Plant succulents in your birdcage. Use cascading succulents around the perimeter of the birdcage for dramatic effect.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Place your birdcage in an area of your garden that receives bright but indirect sunlight and a few hours of direct sunlight throughout the day. Water when the soil is completely dry.

TIP!

Customize your birdcage by spray-painting it one of your favorite colors before you add your succulents.
