mugged!

Spring is here! 
Flowers are blooming, trees are growing leaves, and grass is getting green. 
This is the perfect time to plan your spring garden if you have space
&
add some plant life to your home. 

Planting small succulents and herbs in old mugs is a great way to reuse old mugs and get that spring feel in the home and plant life throughout. 

Keeping fresh herbs in the kitchen for easy snipping and adding to recipes is not only convenient but cute, accessible, and it brings a liveliness to the kitchen. Not to mention it's right at your finger tips to use when you are throwing together your favorite dish. 

And succulents don't need a lot of water ... which makes them perfect plants for mugs. A little water goes a long way for them and you don't need drainage holes because you only need the minimal water. I love this old porcelain mug with a small succulent in it ... so simple an adorable addition to the living space. Most succulents don't need a lot of sun light or intense heat. Great indoor plants for this kind of project would be the following:


Pincushion Cactus 
Jade 
Ponytail Palm 
Hens & Chicks 
Burro's Tail 
Christmas Cactus 
Crown of Thorns 
Aloe Vera 
Panda Plant 
Snake Plant 

  
Bring some life indoors this Spring ... add some really cool mugs and plants to your decor.
