Succulents are such versatile little plants. Not only are they drought tolerant, low-maintenance, easy-to-grow from cuttings and super cute, they can also be turned into all sorts of living decor.
In this project, Tara Dennis, decorator and founder of Pepper Whites, pairs a bit of driftwood with succulents to create a stunning table centrepiece. “The texture of driftwood is gorgeous and looks perfect along a table,” she says.

You will need:
• Discarded tree branch
• Potting mix suitable for succulents
• Netting, if required
Note: Branches with small hollows are ideal as you can tuck in little plants neatly. Succulents need only a light mist of water every now and then.
Method:
1. Add potting mix to hollows in branch. If your log has a hole all the way through, use a little netting to retain the soil.
2. Arrange succulents in their pots at varying heights to see how they will sit in the planter. Have taller types shadowing smaller, as well as low-covering ones to create interest. Then plant them directly in the soil.
