2. Use A Rectangular Wooden Box And Fill It With Succulents
Here's a really awesome idea for showing off your succulents and cacti. Get a weathered wooden rectangular box and fill it with your plants.
If it's deep enough, you could either plant directly or keep the succulents in their own pots, making it easier to change them out if needed.
This shape of indoor garden would make a fantastic centerpiece on a kitchen or dining room table.
It's lovely how different heights and shapes of plants have been used to create a desert landscape in miniature. This even includes the stones used to create the feeling of ground.
3. Hang A Collection Of Small Succulents Near A Window
Some succulents will hang down over the edge of their pots. These types are perfect for planting in tiny hanging pots.
Get a collection and group them near a favorite sunny window. Choose colors that go with your overall decor and will create a focal point for the room.

6. Use A Folding Ladder As A Cool Shelf Set-Up For Succulents
Here's a cute idea. Take an old (or new) folding ladder and prop it against a wall. Then you can use each rung of the ladder to show off your gorgeous little succulents.
The look is open and airy, it's portable, so you can move it from window to window depending upon what your plants need, and it doesn't take up as much depth as a typical bookshelf.
Depending on the ladder, you can paint it in a bright, fun color or simply leave it neutral.

The best part? This lovely little greenhouse adds an undeniable touch of beauty to any space.
11. Line Up Your Succulents On A Window Ledge

12. Create A Desert Feel With Low Planters Of Succulents By The Door
