Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Succulents last longer than roses,
And environmentally better too.

Locally grown succulent cuttings in refabbed votive holders, shot glasses, vases, cachepot and fancy bowls. Please consider buying locally grown, drought-tolerant arrangements instead of roses. (See note). Prices range from 6- to 45-, depending on size and labor-of-love time.

Note: Most roses (and tulips) are purchased from overseas, air-freighted in, shipped in refrigerated containers, store in refrigerated warehouses, then shipped in refrigerated trucks to your local florists or grocery store. Please consider the environment and imports dependency when you create demand for products like these.

Fernseed supports succulents because they can be grown anywhere, are drought-tolerant and love neglect.

Inspired by my friend, Mikol, who did not know how to create terrariums. Thank you for asking how to... I created inexpensive $10 kits for people who would like to reduce waste and reuse their bottles. It can be plastic or glass. Does not matter, actually. We have no shortage of sand. Recycling glass is a little waste of our energy. So please try to keep your stuff from landfills instead!

Kit contains new sand, new rocks, reclaimed rocks, reclaimed shells, dried bamboo or branch, reclaimed bag, new air plant and reclaimed wire for tying purposes.

If you need to ship this, we can do it for you. Simply order from our Etsy shop.

We love promoting succulents because they require so little water. Succulents actually thrive on neglect. You only have to water these perhaps once every two weeks. How awesome is that? We have succulent gardens from $6-$50. Awesome alternative to fresh flowers, which are a little less drought tolerant to grow...

Painted red or the holiday season, but then again, love lasts all seasons, right? Succulents were clipped, so they will live for a long time before they root. You can replant them easily in a month or so. These babies love neglect. Yes, for those of us with light green thumbs. $8 each.

My refab project today was painting this glass astray. Added new soil and a succulent cutting. Reclaimed quartz stone was an added perk. $8
