Seasonal Succulents

A hospital day yesterday with a family member, so on my way to collect them I stopped for coffee in a nearby garden centre. Loved this display of succulents planted in pumpkins. I wondered how long they would last but I enjoyed the idea and the look of them.

I did this many years ago and when the pumpkin starts to deteriorate I either repotted or planted the thing in a bigger container. Works well, cheers Suzanne

Nice to know what @ankers70 Suzanne says! Could apply to a lot of plants perhaps!

What a great idea.

Don't they look gorgeous. Hope all went well at the hospital

A very interesting way of using them!

[Michelle]

I like these, something different

[Rob Z]

Are they in real pumpkins?! That's such a cool idea and it would make you look after your plants and repot regularly. :)

[Casablanca]

@robz Yes, real pumpkins!

[Carole Sandford]

Very novel plant pots!

What fun, great idea

[Paula Fontanini]

What a wonderfully creative idea...I would never in a million years thought to do this!

[Kathy]

I like this idea. But like you I wonder if they wouldn’t need repotting within a month or two.
