Best Ways to Use Succulents in Your Home

1. Cork Planters

You’ve probably seen this idea on Pinterest a thousand times before, but making succulent cork planter magnets is super fun, and they’re also easy to make! Grab a few old wine corks, drill tiny holes in them, stuff them with some potting soil, and then plant a small succulent in each of them. You can then add magnets to the backs of your corks, which makes for an easy way to liven up your fridge. We promise they’ll look super cute!

Final Thoughts

To keep your succulents alive, happy, and thriving, make sure they’re getting plenty of light throughout the day and only water them when the top third of their soil feels dry. You’ll need to give them enough time to dry out properly before you water them again.
