I may have the blackest green thumb of all time. And while my inability to keep anything alive bodes badly for my future spawn, it does wondrous things for my local Target.
I love succulents…it might be because they remind me of California, but let’s be honest, it’s probably because they’re so hardy.
Ignore the above picture. It was a fluke.
However, before we go any further, I have a very important question for you. Which of the below succulents is fake?
Answer…all of them. WHAAAAAT?????? How awesome are they?? I recently snagged two more at Target (for a total of $13, thankyouverymuch) to add some more life to our house.
When for at least 6 months you have absolutely NO color outside, it’s nice to have a splash of green inside. One that requires no care. Which, in all honesty, is pretty much the best kind.
When they’re all spread out, they add just the right amount of je ne sais quoi. And that, right there, is the extent of my French knowledge. I love those tiny white ones (which Target is still selling, btw), because if they’re lined up or separate, they’re still cute. And do you see those two in the back right? They have a great concrete-y texture in the planters. Adorbs. (Sidenote: my phone autocorrects to “adorbs,” “amazeballs,” “ohmygod,” etc. Not only do I blog like a 15 year old, I text like one too.)
Oh, and for all five of those plants, it cost me around $30 (I think. Their purchases have been spread over a few years). And let’s be frank here, I’ve spent at least that in plants that I’ve subsequently killed. Don’t laugh, the Fireman can attest to the sad plant graveyard that our house becomes.
Succas, je t’aime. (I lied about my French).
Have you had any experience with fake/real keeping alive/killing plants?
