Replanting & Grooming

Arrangements / TLC

You can maintain the beauty of a succulent arrangement by grooming it periodically. This means pulling off the dead/dried leaves from the plant and those that have fallen into the soil. Also, after sometime, the plants may have grown big and unwieldy. Check out this arrangement given to Tiffany & Adrian at their Housewarming Party over 2 years ago. Most of the plants have done well, grown. One didn’t do so well as you can see at the bottom of the picture. Replanting and grooming does it wonders – see the after!

New Creations

Arrangements / Containers / Thrifted

Last Friday, we planted newly acquired succulent plants in newly thrifted containers. We were pretty productive. Check out each unique arrangement individually under portfolio. We hope you’ll take one home with you.

Thrifting Treasures

Containers / Thrifted

Today Benny and I went on our usual “thrifting circuit” to the Goodwill store and Out of the Closet.

We picked-up these containers for the Republic of Succulents:
(from left to right) 

  • Vintage Round Aluminum bowl.  It seems to be missing its “hat” so its original use can no longer be effectively fulfilled → it will have a new purpose soon. It has an official looking stamp on the bottom and is made in the good ole’ U.S.A. (Sandy)
  • Vintage Cooper Gelatin Mold.  Its got a “bubble” pattern on the bottom. Maybe from the 1950s? (Gelatin)

Introducing the Republic of Succulents

Inspirations

It is very exciting to start this new venture, which is an intersection of my passions of:

  • Succulents
  • Thrifting (aka Treasure Hunting)
  • Photography (all images on this site where photographed by me)
  • Beautifying Spaces (succulents help add that special something to your outdoor spaces)

How lucky am I? >> I’m thrilled to share my passions with you!
