10 Succulent Christmas Trees You Can Make At Home

10 Succulent Christmas Trees You Can Make At Home

Even if you don’t have a green thumb you can make these succulent Christmas trees. Do you know how I know? Cause my thumbs are not green, I am the kinda person who kills a plastic plant. My mother on the hand is an amazing0 gardener and can resurrect anything dead I give her, she has so many different dedicated “garden areas” in her house. She has a vegetable garden, fruit area, potting shed, potting table, nursery and a few greenhouses too. So when I sent her the idea of making a Christmas tree out of succulents she was so excited and got to work straight away. This is how I know I can keep one alive!

Succulents can be found thriving in some of the world’s driest spots, where most plants stand zero chance of survival so surviving in my house is kinda the same environment.

If you are doubting your ability to DIY and make your own succulent tree then you could purchase one from Etsy too.  You may think these are expensive, but succulents are, that is why it is the perfect craft for anyone who already has succulents and enough little cuttings to cover a large florist cone or even a DIY succulent wreath.   Of course, you could make one using plastic succulents too, but I assure you these Real succulent Christmas trees are so much fun to make.

SUPER TIPS for keeping your succulent tree alive #

All succulents benefit from a complete soaking, so soak your succulent tree until water comes out of the bottom of the pot.
