I happen to have a discarded picture frame at home, measuring 50 cm A planting container. To prevent the planting soil from pouring out of the container when the frame is upright, stretch a piece of wire mesh in front of the frame and place an old window screen inside. It is breathable and water-permeable, but the soil will not leak out. The pruned succulents were inserted into the small holes of the wire mesh according to their arrangement.
Production process:
Abandoned frames
The back of the frame is surrounded by grooved glass
Remove the glass and keep the drawing board as the back cover
Use a wooden block to cut it into a 45 degree angle
Make a frame
Inlay the frame into the mirror frame
In front of the mirror frame, stretch wire mesh and screens
After making itThe "frame" is relatively heavy, so adjust the hanging position before filling with soil
Drill two large holes on the top of the planting box for future irrigation and watering, and drill 4 small holes in the lower part for drainage
First put some wood chips (at the front of the plant) to retain moisture
Put in soil: 80% planting soil, 15% sand and 5% organic long-acting fertilizer
Seal the cover
This is the front
Pruning gem flower
Routou
Aloe Vera and "Gypsophila"
Succulents
Planting is very simple: use a screwdriver of comparable diameter to poke a hole in the screen window
Insert the plant into the hole
Complete some cuttings: the layout of the plants can be designed according to the cuttings you have on hand, and you can design the shape you like
The finished shape may deform as the plant grows over time, but it doesn’t hurt to prune it
Half a day is spent recycling waste, made into a plant "mirror frame"
Postscript: This is a photo a month later:
Plants basically survive
This gem flower will bloom, but of course the flowers of succulent plants are not very pretty
The color of the plant itself is also very beautiful: this variety turns red in a relatively dry environment
The same goes for "Doudou Tang", the color is very cute
This kind of gem flower will also turn red around it if it lacks water and sunlight
Tips: It is best to lay the frame flat within 1-2 months after production, so that the cuttings can take root and survive better.
