Infinite Succulent: Miniature Living Art to Keep or Share

by Rachael Cohen

Take your succulents to the next level with these stylish and creative projects From blue- green to purple and pink, flower-shaped to squat and spiky or tall and fuzzy, the variety, versatility, and low-maintenance care of succulents makes them go-to plants for home gardeners. Here, succulent stylist Rachael Cohen shows that these traits also make succulents the ideal material for living art. Tiny, jewel-like succulents can be clipped and replanted in infinite combinations, and unlike cut flowers, they thrive in these arrangements. When planted in corks, they become charming living magnets; when placed in seashells, they are a delightful reminder of a day at the beach. Succulents can also grow nestled in moss, creating an opportunity for even more arrange them atop mini pumpkins or adorn a headband or a tiny wreath. In addition to illustrated step-by-step instructions for more than a dozen crafts, Cohen explains which succulents are best for each project, how to clip and prepare rosettes and leaves, and what to do when the plants outgrow their art pieces. Lush photographs throughout capture the natural beauty of the plants and boundless range of possible creations. 100 color photographs

3.5 stars! Lots of cute ideas and good info. Tea cups and pumpkin were super cute but I don’t think I’ll be making a succulent donned bracelet anytime soon.

I found this elegant, simple, creative and engaging. I did all but one of the projects. Perfect for being stuck at home too! Loved the photography and the clear, natural and enthusiastic writing.

It’s a pretty picture book showing you simple steps to propagate but mainly how or where to plant to make it artistic. Not enough details of the type and varieties of succulent. So to me this book wasn’t very interesting

An interesting book about making art with succulents. I did not know you could do so many things with succulents. Many of these creations would make great gifts. I would have liked more information about the varieties of succulents to use in making art.
