What a cut idea. I like succulents. They are very easy to grow. And really don't need fertilizers or trimming. I want to make a couple of these but I will use decorative duct tape on the cans to fit the theme of any room I place them in. Thank you for the inspiration.

Succulents are the easiest things to plant and maintain. They require very minimal attention so even when you leave for a couple of days, they'll be fine. I painted my tins gold and black.

I have made similar plantings, but this is a nice idea to keep,things simple and contained. For a more colorful,look, you could paint the cans or even add ribbon or,glue buttons or small,tiles to,the outside for embellishment. This would be a lovely housewarming gift or even would nring a touch of home to the college dorm.

Wow! A very minimalist design idea. This is very, very nice for apartments dwellers. They may only have a single window or perhaps a fire escape to use for their greenery. In lieu of a drill for the drainage holes, you COULD heat up a screw driver over your gas range until it gets hot enough and then poke the holes through the cans. Or use a hammer on that screw driver for a real hands-on approach. -)

I'll be bookmarking this one. My succulent collection needs to be consolidated into some kind of arrangement, and this might be the winner.
