I decided to get some succulent plants and try my hand at some of this vertical plant art that I have been seeing a lot these days. I love being creative with painting and also love plants, so I thought what a fun way to combine the two things.
Here is an example of what I would like to create from livingwallart.com
I went to my local do it yourself store and purchased a few succulents I wanted to use. I also acquired a few cuttings of plants from my work that I thought would be fun. I have a few sedums, Echeveria, Baby sun rose ‘Aptenia cordifolia’, Peperomias, Rainbow elephant bush Portulacaria afra ‘Variegata’ and Jade plant ‘gollum’ ‘Crassula argentea.’
Here I took the plant and divided it into 5 sections. I then repotted them using cactus soil, which is a well draining soil as succulents do not like excess moisture. I will keep them in a sunny spot in my backyard for them to grow so I have many plants for my future vertical living art projects.
