23 Charming Indoor Succulent Garden Ideas That Are Living Art

Do you dream of indoor greenery that won't droop if the temperature shifts by a single degree, or if you forget to water it on time and give it an afternoon watering instead? Are you possibly feeling personally attacked by the first sentence? There's a cure! Indoor succulent gardens. Forgiving, gorgeous, and outrageously dreamy, allow these pictures of indoor succulent gardens to inspire and delight as you plan your own.

Grab a square, rhombus, diamond, or whatever geometric shape suits your vibe and complements or emphasizes the shape of your indoor succulents. You can plant a singular succulent or a charming grouping. Of course, you can use all the same succulents or a variety.

Buy an already melted wine bottle to turn into your succulents' home. You can also carefully cut the wine bottle in half length-wise to add a little more space for more plants. Consider placing it on a bookshelf or beside other wine bottles.

Instead of opening up the entire bottle, make just a small hole you so can hang the bottles for a vertical garden on your walls, or hang the bottles from string. If vertical space is an issue, you can use bottles of varying sizes, arranging them on a shelf or throughout a room.

With care and some long tweezers, you can place the succulents into a bottle to grow and care for. It's a greener upgrade than your usual ship in a bottle. You can experiment with bottles of varying neck sizes, or start by very carefully using bottles that are cracked or broken.

You don't need to use a traditional planter for your succulent garden. In this case, you can use a mini-bathtub decoration as a home for your succulents. If you can give it holes to drain, you can turn just about anything into a planter.

That's right! Upcycle and reuse old plastic toys, including dinosaurs, to fill with dirt for your succulents to call home. You can add these toy planters to larger planters. Alternatively, you can easily adorn other indoor succulent gardens with small game pieces for a living game board.

With a frame, dirt, wire, and a sturdy wall, you can create a vertical garden that takes up next to zero shelf space. Of course, if you're a renter, you can lean the garden against a wall too. You can go miniature and lean it against books or use it as a decorative bookend.

Adorn a planter with moss, tiny figurines, houses, and succulents for a place fairies may land. What could be better for your succulents than an enchanted garden? Add glassy mushrooms, glistening dew drops, or anything that brings a touch of whimsy.

Gather up planters with similar shapes, colors, or patterns to make an indoor succulent garden you can rearrange and regroup. Plus, you won't need to worry about everyone enjoying the same watering schedule.

A cracked pot still makes for an excellent place for your succulents to call home. Glue the pieces back together in a shape that can hold dirt, then plant away! Or, glue the pot back together into a semblance of its original shape, drawing attention to the cracks with the plants.

Bring some peace and zen to your home with a soothing indoor succulent garden. Arrange moss, rocks and stones, and branches with your succulents for a soothing miniature landscape. Keep it simple with just one plant or allow the zen garden to sprawl in a larger planter.

Opt for a smaller planter if you're short on space or are looking to scatter more around your home by using just moss, one or two plants, and only a small decorative mushroom or other figurine. Of course, you can place several of these together or scatter them throughout your space.

Fairies are found the whole world over, so of course, you'll find rock-loving fairies. Create an enchanted garden with a layer of tiny pebbles and spruce it up further with ornamental rocks.

Utilize clear planters, jars, and bowls by first layering sand, then small pebbles, then slightly larger rocks, and then adding your dirt. Top off with some moss, your succulents, and a few extra rocks for good measure.

Skip the burnt orange or glass planters in favor of a colorful planter that flatters the color of your succulents, their blossoms, or even the palette of the room where they'll be living. Paint your own with personal designs or splurge on decorative planters at the store.

Create an indoor succulent garden that blends in seamlessly by using a planter in a brown or sandy neutral hue. With or without pebbles that are a similar shade, this will make your succulents the star.

Play around with using unlikely planters, such as bowls or vessels usually reserved for candies, potpourri, or other trinkets. If drainage is an issue, put small pots inside to allow for the water to flow.

Carefully drop in a small candle into your indoor succulent garden. Take care the flame isn't too close to the plants if you do decide to light the candle. A battery-powered tea-light makes for a safe alternative.

Opt for a minimalist indoor succulent garden by using just two or three plants and larger rocks as decoration. You can keep the planter a neutral color or opt for a more vibrant look.

Bring more of nature inside by using a wooden rectangular planter. Complete the decoration with small stones, sea glass, or even twigs that you can decorate to resemble trees.

Cover your planter with a large picture frame so that the succulents can flow and grow outwards, creating a stunning and actual 3D work of art. Experiment with glass or wood frames, or alternate with both.

Group together your fairy gardens and enchanted succulent planters so that you can have several arrangements to grow, blossom, and bloom together. You can still move them freely based on their lighting needs.

Opt for succulents that grow in different directions and at different heights for an indoor garden that has variety with minimal effort. Be sure to give your shorter succulents a chance to shine by starting low on the outside and working in taller plants towards the middle or back.

Succulents aren't just for desert gardens! They're for the indoors of New England homes, the Pacific Northwest, and desert homes when it's just too hot to go outside. Bring a touch of whimsy to your shelves and decor with an indoor succulent garden. Be sure to keep an eye out for fairies.
