END CAP SUCCULENT GARDEN

I love adding plants throughout my home. Succulents have become the latest “it girl” in the plant world, and when planted in galvanized containers, they’re guaranteed to give your home décor a boost. Not only are succulents a lot harder to kill than other plants, but they come in all types of interesting shapes and colors. In trying to find an interesting planter, I stumbled upon stove end caps in a hardware store and found that they make the perfect vessel for succulents. Not only do they look great, but they are inexpensive and come in many different sizes to fuel your creativity and complement your personal style.

MATERIALS

• 5 or 6 packs of succulents found at a garden center or hardware store (try to find 3–5 varying types)
• 2 (5") round end caps
• 1 (3") round end cap
• Potting soil

1. Find a surface that will be easy to clean up and remove your succulents from their plastic pots. Place individual plants in the different galvanized end caps. Mix up the variety of plants in each container for interest.

   

2. Fill in any extra room in the end caps with potting soil and then compact the plants together.

   

3. Add enough water to keep your plants damp. There aren’t any holes for drainage, so be sure not to overwater.
4. Continue to follow the care instructions that came with your plant.
