Succulents are a beautiful, simple, and versatile way to add a little bit of life to apartments in New Jersey. There are so many varieties of the popular plant that creating your own unique display can be easy. From tropical colors to lush greens, succulents provide numerous options for mixing and matching within one or multiple containers. As a bonus, they’re an easy-to-care-for option for those that aren’t entirely blessed with a green thumb. Beyond succulents’ variety and versatility, you can create unique pieces with different themes that represent your style.
Mermaid Garden
Succulents emit an oceanic vibe despite that most don’t need much water. One idea for a beautiful and unique succulent garden is to take elements of the sea and popular mythical creatures, mermaids, and incorporate them into one container. Select succulents that look like they could live on the bottom of the ocean, then add in some colorful fish tank accessories like faux coral and a mermaid statue to top off the look. Top standard potting soil with colorful pebbles that play off the tones in the succulents. This under-the-sea look will make apartments in New Jersey feel beachy even if they aren’t located down the shore.
Desert
Instead of creating a fairy garden, pay homage to where succulents are natively found: the desert. Grab a large terra cotta or tan-colored container to start. If you find one with desert-like designs, even better! Then select the succulents to pair together – feel free to add in cactus plants, too. Make sure to leave enough space for your knick-knacks like a mini fire pit, tiny lawn chair, or even a miniature camper outfitted in bright colors! Once you’ve arranged and potted your succulents in traditional soil, cover it with something you’d find in the desert like red rocks – or in this case pebbles. Then finish the look with your miniature accoutrement for a west coast vibe at apartments in the east.
Using succulents to create unique arrangements for apartments in New Jersey is easy. Not only are the options nearly limitless, the ways and themes you can adopt will fit right into to the rest of your décor. Happy planting!
