Join me today as I show you how to make these beautiful DIY Succulent Planters. They are perfect for every day décor or use them as a wedding centerpiece! Allow your succulents to grow in an outdoor environment indoors.
Thank you so much for being here today! I am SO in LOVE with these DIY Succulent Planters. I mean, aren’t they beautiful?! The best part is they cost zip to make and are fairly easy.
I saved our Christmas Tree trunk because I thought I would make wood round ornaments for next year. It’s been kicking around the house for months and frankly, I was getting sick of tripping over it. I needed to do something else with it. I had a bunch of succulents that I had just planted and had a few left over with no home. I remembered seeing a picture where someone had planted a bunch of succulents outside in an old tree stump. I loved it, and thought I could do something similar but for inside. Follow the tutorial below to make these beauties!

You’ll need:
-Old tree trunk or thick branch (I used our noble fir Christmas tree trunk).
-Saw (we used a hand saw).
-Drill
-A hole saw attachment for drill (we used 1.5 inch).
-A small drill bit
-Marker or pen.
For planting:
-Small rocks or Pebbles
-Succulent/Cactus soil (well draining soil).
-Succulents
Let’s get started!
5. Keep chiseling until you reach desired depth. Mine goes down about 2″ or so.
6. Now for planting! Fill a thin layer of pebbles. And then a thin layer of succulent soil.

Hey Jennifer! Thank you and thanks for the repin! I’m excited, just started following you on Pinterest
I drill drainage holes in the base, from the bottom. Otherwise the roots will just make their way to the rocks and suck up too much water. I, also, use a Forstner drill bit. It cuts out the wood as you drill so it’s a one step process.
