Now that fall is upon us and I no longer have my flower garden to rely on for weekly fresh flowers, I decided to plant a couple of succulent planters for my dining room and kitchen island counter.

They’re so lovely, incredibly easy to maintain, and add such an elegant touch to the home. And the best part? They’re wonderfully simple to put together.

A little bit of greenery goes a long way in bringing life and warmth indoors as the seasons change.

I created this arrangement for my kitchen island, and it makes me smile every single day! There’s something so special about bringing a little bit of the outdoors inside and creating a space that feels fresh, inviting, and full of life.

Succulents for Autumn

Succulents bring an exotic touch and a beautiful splash of colour to any setting. Their purple and mauve hues are especially enchanting, adding depth, warmth, and a touch of elegance to an autumn table setting. Paired with seasonal foliage, warm candlelight, and natural textures, these beautiful plants create a distinctive and inviting centrepiece.

Check out my photo of my creation for Thanksgiving this year! A little seasonal beauty, a touch of nature, and those gorgeous autumn hues.

Here’s my easy instructions on how you can create a stunning succulent centrepiece for you Home!

All you need is:

  • A pot with a drainage hole
  • Succulent potting mix soil
  • A few decorative rocks, pebbles or some decorative sand
  • Your favourite succulents

How to create your own succulent centrepiece – Step-by-Step:

  1. Select a container with a drainage hole.
  2. Cover the drainage hole with a small mesh screen or a coffee filter to keep the soil from falling out.
  3. Carefully slide the succulent out of it’s nursery container.
  4. Place the succulent in the center of your new pot.
  5. Pour fresh succulent mix around the roots, gently tapping the pot to settle the soil and remove any air pockets.
  6. Finish the surface with a thin layer of decorative sand, pebbles, or stones.
  7. Let your plant rest in indirect sunlight for 2 days so the roots can settle, then water thoroughly.
