To decorate your garden or balcony with a painting does not require artistic skill. Beautiful and original vivid image you easily make up of durable succulents, which do not mind heat or cold. It's so easy to make a little rock garden on the balcony.
Creating a vivid image is easier than it might seem at first glance. Our outdoors growing succulents are very durable and especially unpretentious. Both in temperature, water and substrate. Creating a small vertical garden from them is a breeze. All it takes is an old frame and a moment of time.
You need – old frame, rabbit mesh, wooden bar, exterior paint or varnish, substrate, plywood or non-poached fabric, upholter pliers or hammer and cloves, pliers for wire, moss and bark
How to do it
1. The old frame first needs to be painted with exterior paint. At least twice and allow each layer to dry well.
2. Then attach cloves of mesh to it from the inside. Align it well and cut off excess wires with pliers. You'd better work in gloves.
3. Tap the bar from the bottom of the frame to make room for the substrate.
4. Secure the back of the image with a board or simply tap the non-skay fabric with upholstery pliers. Make the substrate.
5. Start planting the best non-shakes, mini rock eries and pulp, of which there are many different colored species. You can buy them or remove small plants from your rock garden and at your neighbors. I'm sure everyone will give you a few little plants.
6. When planting, keep in mind that the plants will grow, so leave enough space between them. The spacing is easily obscured by the moss and bark they have in any garden, or you can find them in the forest.
7. For the first two weeks it is good to leave the image in a half-shade, and only when the plants take shape, put it in the sun. When the painting is built outside, you can carefully water it. Another option is de-deed.
And if you love all possible succulents as much as we do, look for more ideas for decoration from non-shakes.
