We love is that it’s a home-grown, natural option that you can not only create yourself, but you can dismantle it at the end of Christmas and replant the succulents into a brand new garden or table arrangement.
As time passes, your succulents are likely to stretch and grow towards the sun – pulling away from the base and altering your Christmas tree shape. Since they only need a light misting and plenty of direct sunlight to keep them looking lush, this is the perfect solution to dressing your summer entertaining table that will last the entire season! The lovely Tara Dennis has some great ideas here to do just that.
