A Hostess Gift For Easter

If you, like me, are lucky enough to be invited to someone else's house for Easter, you might be looking for something to bring.  (You know, a little, "thanks-for-cooking-so-I-don't-have-to," gift.)

This year I decided to make my own using my favorite plants: succulents.  (Read more about that passion here and here and here.)

The concept is simple.

Take a ceramic egg crate (you can buy your own here)...

...and fill it with cactus soil.

Then remove the succulent from its pot and insert it in the egg crate.  (You might need to brush some soil from the circumference of the roots to make it fit.)

Repeat with the rest of the succulents until you're happy with your arrangement.

Eventually you might want to re-pot them in a bigger container...

...until that time you can mist them with water from a spray bottle (in lieu of watering).

Happy early Easter to all!
