These holiday plants have been around for a few years now, and they are just as magical as ever. There are several Etsy shops that make the attention-grabbing pieces, but Terracotta Corner FL has really perfected them. Trust us, you’ll want to place one in every room that needs a little seasonal spirit.
The 13-inch trees from the shop are handmade with real succulents. The Aurora Succulent Tree is made with 25 echeverias in different colors, so each one is unique. The Alpine Succulent Tree is made with 50 haworthias, which are spiky to make it look like a real tree, and a dozen colorful succulents, including echeverias, graptoverias, and sedums, sprinkled through like ornaments.
You have the option of adding a silver or gold star topper, so all you have to do is place it on the table of your choice. The order also comes with care instructions, which notes that you should lightly spray the tree with water to keep the succulents alive for “many months.” Etsy’s Terracotta Corner FL sells the beautiful pieces for $130 or $135, depending on the style.
“Ordered this as a gift for a friend and they loved it!! They said it arrived perfectly and was packaged so well there was zero damage to any of the leaves. I will definitely be ordering from this shop again!!!” one buyer wrote.
If this is just the beginning of Christmas decor, it’s already shaping up to be a super festive holiday season.
