ikea tradig as a planter

When I bought that ikea tradig wire bowl back in January, I knew I was going to have some creative fun with it. I mean it can't JUST be a fruit bowl!









Once I saw it, I simply had to have a dwarf papyrus plant. And it was going to work perfectly with my planter idea for the tradig bowl! When I could not find a coconut shell liner small enough to fit, I cut a couple of inches off the smallest size I could get at the garden center. I started out with just the papyrus and then spruced it up with some feathery accent grass and a few hens & chicks. Those grasses grew a bit big and wild so I replaced them with more succulents. I love playing with plants!!
