If you love the look of succulent plants and want to incorporate them into your decor at Jefferson at Dedham Station Apartments, there are a number of stylish and creative ways to do so. Instead of planting a succulent in the usual pot, try something a bit more unique by using this fun tutorial for a DIY wall planter.

1. Start with a shallow wooden box. Think an old drawer, an antique crate, or even a picture frame with wood behind it for reinforcement.
2. Cover the surface of the box with chicken wire or galvanized mesh. Use a staple gun to attach it to each side, and be sure to snip off the sharp edges.
3. Add a strip of wire used for hanging photo frames to the back. Be sure to choose something that can handle heavy weight.
4. Add soil specifically formulated for succulents. Fill it completely to the top of the chicken wire.
5. Plant your succulents. Position them in between the squares in the wire.
6. Water once, and then let the whole thing sit flat in the sun for four to six weeks. This will enable the succulents have time to root before hanging.
7. Hang on a wall that can handle the weight of the plants. Choose a place with a stud behind it, or add a shelf underneath for added support.
