Project: Gifting Baby Plants

I have this one plant that has been going crazy. I am not sure what it is, some kind of succulent. It doesn't need rooting hormone, any piece that breaks off and is placed in the soil will grow like the dickens.



I was trying to figure out what to do with all of these plantlings (that's a word) that seem to be taking over and realized that I should curse gift my friends who show even the slightest hint of a green thumb (don't worry Sarah, you will not get one. wink).

To make this aggressive grower a bit more adorable I decided to up the ante with packaging (I totally thought this was a semi-original idea and just found it on Pinterest, whatever). You can do this too.

You will need

• 1 jar
• spray paint
• rocks and pebbles
• soil
• plant
• twine

Here is what you do.

1. Spray paint the jar, takes like 1 minutes
2. When the jar is dry place a couple of rocks in the bottom for drainage.
3. Cover with soil and add plant.
4. Add some tiny decorative pebbles and twine. You can add a tag or instructions. Good to go!

Today we are making a delivery to a friend I haven't been able to touch base with recently, just a little gesture of friendliness.
