Interesting ways with cacti & succulents...

Bright lolli pop cacti give this planter bowl wow factor.
 
Plant a variety of cacti in a low dish. Choose brightly coloured grafted cacti like the "lolli pop" type shown here. We have a great mix of cacti & succulents including cacti in pink, yellow, purple and orange in the garden centre for around $6 ea.
Place your display in a well lit room in the house, patio or veranda.
 


I thought this was a great idea to plant succulents in the crevice of each step. The green life really does soften the hard edges and creates an interesting visual display.
