Succulents in Clam Shells
Succulents are those interesting plants that retain
water in their fat leaves and come in all shapes and
sizes. They are the hens and chicks, the sedums and the
sempervivums that look like green roses. These plants,
especially when grouped together, make truly lovely
arrangements. The fun part is they can grow in minimal
soil and are perfect for a kid project. Take a large shell
(or other interesting container) and drill several small
holes in the bottom for drainage. Then, place a layer of
wet sphagnum moss in the bottom. Top with potting
soil and then add several succulent plants close together.
These make nice gifts or just place them in a spot where
you and your children can enjoy them throughout
the year.
