11. Picture Frame Planters
What it is: An old picture frame is repurposed into a shallow planter, often filled with succulents or air plants, creating a living wall art piece.
Why it’s great for apartments: These are truly unique and artistic, perfect for small indoor spaces or covered balconies. They act as decorative pieces, adding a touch of nature without taking up much room.
They are lightweight, generally easy to create as a DIY project, and require minimal maintenance, especially for succulent or air plant varieties.
Actionable tips: Find a sturdy, deep picture frame. Construct a wooden box or use a shallow container that fits snugly into the frame’s opening.
Line the back with a breathable fabric or mesh. Fill with a well-draining succulent potting mix.
Arrange succulents (which need very little soil) or air plants (which need no soil) within the frame. You can use chicken wire or mesh over the soil to hold plants in place.
Water sparingly. Hang your living picture frame on a wall, ensuring it is level.
These are fantastic for a minimalist or artistic aesthetic.
