EGG CRATE

Nothing says “Happy Easter” like a crate full of colorful pastel eggs! For a special twist, though, add baby succulents to your Easter decor. Filling an egg crate with succulent-filled eggs creates a perfect springtime centerpiece that you’ll want to keep around long after Easter has come and gone.

WHAT YOU NEED

• Eggs
• Succulent Soil
• Baby Succulents
• Egg Crate
• Moss (Optional)
• Faux Flowers (Optional)

WHAT TO DO

1. Gently crack your eggs near the top and save or discard the egg whites and yolks.
2. Rinse the eggs out with water and let dry.
3. Fill your eggshells with succulent soil. Lightly pack in the soil all the way to the top.
4. Plant your baby succulents in your eggshells. You can plant one larger succulent or a few little ones in each shell.
5. Create a complete arrangement by placing your succulent-filled eggshells into your egg crate. Create interest by leaving some slots empty or by planting a succulent directly into the egg crate.
6. Add moss to empty slots in your crate or around plants to add color and texture to your arrangement.
7. If you like the look, add a couple of faux flowers to enhance the springtime feel.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Place your succulent-filled egg crate in bright, indirect sunlight and water when the soil is completely dry.

TIP!

Use a ceramic egg crate if you intend on planting succulents directly into the crate. Paper cartons will become weak over time as you water your plants and will leak.
