Succulent picture frame

Planted picture frames are easy to make, and can be scattered across a wall in groups, or used alone as an eye-catching statement. Succulents such as houseleeks, sedums and huernias are perfect – they are easy to grow, and tolerant of low moisture and poor or minimal soil. For drainage, use a mix of equal amounts of perlite (or vermiculite) and potting compost. Allow the mix to dry out between waterings. In hot, dry weather, take down the frame once a week, lay it flat and water well.
