How do you plant a succulent in a bird bath?
Mix equal parts perlite and potting mix; fill bird bath roughly 3/4 full with soil mixture. Use a trowel to make enough holes in the potting mixture to accommodate the number of plants. Leave 2 to 3 inches of space between each plant. Plant succulents inside bird bath, making holes with trowel for each plant.
What is the best planter for succulents?
The best pots for succulents are made from terracotta or ceramic. Both of these materials are breathable, which encourages proper water drainage and air circulation. Just remember that both terracotta and ceramic are heavy, especially once you add soil and plants.
Do Succulents do well in bathrooms?
Succulents can survive in bathrooms, living rooms, and windowsills. Bathrooms are usually humid. It is enough for the succulents to thrive. Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air.
What can I plant in a shallow bird bath?
Good planting choices include succulents, sedums and flowering annuals and vines. You could also create miniature or fairy gardens with tiny plantings or insert a water-tight container and add a small circulating fountain and water garden.
Should I put rocks in my bird bath?
Good Footing.
Pea gravel or large stones in the bottom of you bath basin also serve to give bathing birds better footing while using the bath. This is necessary to make the birds feel less vulnerable while they bathe.
Should bird baths be in sun or shade?
Place your birdbath in the shade if possible, to keep the water cooler and fresher. Having trees nearby will also provide branches on which they can preen. Arrange stones (or branches) in the water so birds can stand on them to drink without getting wet (this is particularly important during freezing weather).
