Succulents are available in many colours, shapes and sizes, grow almost anywhere, and need little care – making them the perfect plant choice for even the most novice gardener. Place them in one of these simple planter boxes with some pebble mulch for a lovely pop of colour on your outdoor table.
Determine the size of your planter box. For a tabletop box, don't make it too big, as you don't want to take up too much room on the table. A rectangle shape will do the trick.
Once you’ve decided on the box size, cut the four sides to length.
Pre-drill holes in each side where the screws will go. Screw the sides together with a drill.
With your rectangle made, it's time to measure and neatly cut the timber base, then you can screw it in as well.
Line the inside base and sides with some tough plastic to catch water.
Succulents need to be planted in well-drained soil. They only take the water they require and the rest needs to drain away, so use a potting mix specially designed for them. The best time to plant is during the warmth of autumn or spring.
