HOUSEPLANT LADY VIGNETTES, SNAKE PLANTS!




My new project is to set up a snake plant vignette in my living room. I saw varieties of tall snake plants at a Farmer's Market Greenhouse. I suddenly got a great idea! Display snake plants in a group on a table.  This would be better than my grandma's  snake plant in a old dented rusty tub.


SNAKE PLANT BIO:

Sansevieria trifasciata, also called snake plant, mother-in-law's tongue or Saint George's sword is a species of flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae, native
to tropical West Africa from Nigeria
east to the Congo. (SOURCE: Wikipedia)
    
PLANT CARE: 


Carefree, tolerates low light, grows
better in medium or bright light. Let
soil dry between waterings.

Clean Air Plant: Improves air quality 

in the home!



SNAKE PLANTS FOR MY VIGNETTES:























SILVER QUEEN SNAKE PLANT



























VARIEGATED SNAKE PLANT
























BIRD'S NEST SNAKE PLANT































CYLINDER SNAKE PLANT

SNAKE PLANT VIGNETTES IDEAS:





 TIP: PLACE PLASTIC PLANTERS INSIDE GOLD OR SILVER PLANTER!

CRAFT INSPIRATIONS, PLANTERS







This site will feature crafts I 
created after I visited craft
stores and web sites.  I also 
got inspiration from expensive
items  in department stores. 
I told my friend, "I can create that
myself (DIY)!"

I saw this craft on Google Images: 

RECYCLED LITER BOTTLE PLANTER:







MY CREATION: 

RECYCLED PEANUT BUTTER JARS:

*FACES MADE WITH PIPE CLEANERS,
BEADS, & GOOGLE EYES!

I got inspiration from this craft on Pinterest:












I already had on hand: painted craft
sticks, glue sticks & glue gun. I used
my craft stick box as a planter,  I put
a small clay pot inside.
