Super Succulents!

Last week, we took a little trip to Sprout in Chicago (very cute store with fantastic people, btw) and couldn't help but make a minor indulgence in their succulents and air plants.

For people who have no green thumb, and feel like they kill every living plant that comes into their home, these are pretty fool-proof.

Air plants are neat, sculptural little guys who pull most of their needed nutrients from the air. They only require a weekly, hour long soak in water (and a bi-weekly soak in fertilized water during the growing season Feb-Dec) and to chill out on their side to dry out. That's it!



Succulents are equally as easy to care for with only about a bi-weekly watering as they like to stay mostly dry.
