Succulent Shopping

For years, with serious fail, I’ve tried to grow plants in my home. Flowers? Pretty much dead on arrival.

Ferns that don’t need sun? Always meet their demise.

Lucky bamboo? I’m pretty sure I’m doomed to years of bad luck.

But still, there’s something so effortlessly stylish about a fiddle leaf fig tree perched in a corner of a home, soaking in the sun from a neighboring window.  If only.

And so I’ve continually search for a solution to my black thumb desires and luckily I haven’t had to look too far.  Yup, I’m talking about succulents.

Whether it’s an ikea cactus perched on top of my windowsill or a blooming echeveria (yeah, I totally googled that) as part of a larger planter, these little plants are seriously hard to kill.  And they’re seriously stylish too. Because they’re super small and don’t need a lot of attention, they’re perfect for any urban dweller looking for a little green. Singularly stylish in a cute pot on their own, or grouped together with other equally stylish vessels, these unfussy plants are a chic way to add a bit of green to your abode.

Here’s a selection of some of my favorite pots, perfect for growing your own succulents.
