Is there anything better than when it looks like nature has taken over? From the twisted tree roots taking over the ruins of Angkor Wat, Cambodia, to the little green (albeit, annoying) grass bits that conquer their way through the cracks in the concrete, nature always finds a way.

And you can create that same effect by plating multiple succulents in one planter, having them stick out all over the place like they’re taking over. Great both indoors and out.

Take hanging plant pots to the next level by layering them! Using brightly colored or patterned pots is the best way to feature an otherwise plain space. And switching up the types of plants in each pot provides a slightly more wild look.

This is a fantastic touch to a minimalist style. White pots are easy to come by, and help the greenery or other color of your favorite plants to pop against the neutral shade.

These are great because the possibilities are really endless! Find interesting shapes for the glass containers and different kinds of moss and rocks to fill them with. You can even add little people and and create scenes, place pocket deities, healing crystals, or whatever else piques your fancy.

And a major bonus is that they’re extremely low maintenance.

Use topiaries to compliment a big mirror or lengthen a mantle space (or both, it this case!). Topiaries require a bit of maintenance because they’re picky about how much water they get, but they look great so they’re worth the little extra effort and TLC.

If you’re a big herb fan, and love to garnish your dishes and cocktails, you’ll need lots of plants! If you have an outdoor bar area this is an epic way to decorate and give your guests the best mojito they’ve ever had.

And because the “tentacles” can be achieved with a simple air plant, they’re easy to take care of. Bonus!

These looks great in a bar space, kitchen, or just on the porch for summertime. You can also find giant wine glasses, champagne flutes, martini glasses etc. Which make a more exaggerated feature.

Giant clocks are already a cool feature on their own, but by covering it with moss it creates a beautiful pop of green. Of course, there’s a small problem posed when there’s no numbers visible on the clock but, it’s more of a decoration than an actual clock.

You’ll get the gist of what time it is, but maybe don’t use it to decorate your office!

Forget the boring old orange and black decorations for halloween – try spooky succulents instead! Or maybe you like spooky vibes all year round. Maybe you have a space where you keep all your tarot cards. Whatever your preference, this is undoubtedly badass.

This wild look is reminiscent of magical Alison in Wonderland’s crazy time at the tea party. The layering takes up a lot of space both vertically and horizontally so it can fill a big empty space quite easily.

And as long as you’re sure everything is secure, you can keep layering up as high as you want!

Also using corks to label each plant is a a cute twist and easy way to use up any old corks you have lying around.

Wreathes aren’t just for Christmas! A colorful more spring/summer twist on the holiday classic can be mastered with some pastels. Of course, succulents are the best and easiest way to achieve this look because they’re so low maintenance and come in a variety of styles and colors.
