Featured Pick: Succulent terrarium from Amazon


Succulent Mini Globe

I absolutely love this design. Whether you hang or leave it standing, it makes any room burst with life.

The contrast between main plant and the background is very soothing to the eye. It's been described as many things, but the one I relate to most is Mini Dove. I just look at it and think of a Dove emerging from the glass.

This product highlights the Echeveria ’Domingo’, the whitish light blue rosette in the center, with the Crassula mucosa as the long green plant in the background.


Do to the size of the glass, mini globes can be slightly harder to work with but the end result is well worth the extra effort.

If you are interest in this design, check it out on our Amazon Succulent Store.

9 to 5

As I sit and type this message I can’t help but notice my stark and cold office surroundings.  I’m surrounded by electronics (computer, cell phone, ipod) furniture, mounds of paperwork and somehow expect myself to get inspired enough to write.  We often get caught up in the functionality of our office space and forget about the importance of making our office an environment that brings us peace and happiness. So, what can we do to add some inspiration to our space?

Add some greenery! Add some life! Add some succulents!!

These little water hoarders provide you with an easy to take care of plant that need little sun however offers your office space tons of sunshiny goodness. Adding just a touch of green to your office can vastly improve the overall feel of the space. If you’re feeling underwhelmed by your current office I would challenge you to create a succulent arrangement all your own and bask in the power it has to change your space.


Here are a few inspirational ways that succulents have been used in offices. Enjoy!
