A succulent tree embedded in a snail shell is a fun and creative decoration idea. Using a snail shell as a succulent planter creates a unique and natural look. Here are some notes when growing succulent plants in snail shells:
Choose shells: Choose shells that are intact and not broken. Shells can be collected from the beach or purchased from an art or bonsai store.
Prepare the shells: Before planting, you should wash and clean the shells to remove any impurities. Also, make sure the shell is completely dry before use.
Substrate: Choose a succulent-suitable potting medium, such as a mixture of cacti and sand to create a well-draining medium.
Growing succulent: Place a small amount of potting medium in the snail shell and then insert the succulent plant into it. Make sure the roots of the plant are placed in the medium and consider the location so that the plant has enough space to grow.
Care: When the succulent is grown in a snail shell, it is important not to overwater it, as the shell does not have the ability to drain well. Water gently and make sure the potting medium is dry before watering again.
Placement Location: Place the succulent in its conch in a place that gets enough sunlight, like a window, or outside in direct sunlight.
