[Smile] Ok, what do you guys think of "string of beads" for the plant stand?

I tried several plants that were suggested and I kinda liked this one because it was whispy looking [Wink]
I only wish the plant was bigger & the "strings" longer. HURRY UP AND GROW!
It seems to grow more in the winter than in the summer for some reason. [dunno]

The glass pot the plant is sitting down in as you can see really isn't shallow enough or wide enough for the bowl connected to the stand. I hope to find something else that' a better fit later on.

I love just the way it is!!!
The stand is gorgeous, and if the strings got much longer they would hide that beauty, so don't wish it to grow too fast!!
Also I love the way the pot looks sitting in the bowl of the stand!! I wouldn't want it any larger or shallower or anything.

All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

Thanks!

Shirley,

Well, maybe I'll live with the glass pot for a while and see how it goes, it just might be ok, but,I would like to see it grow a little longer though. If the strings start to hide anything, we'll, I'll just cut them off and make another plant [Smile]

Plantqueen,

The plant is acually a succulent, if you squeeze one of the beads between your fingers, it explodes water [Big Grin]

Thank you!
Sometimes you can find this plant at Lowe's in a hanging basket. Have also seen them online.

Nope, not squeezing any right now, but have on a bead or two that fell, or have gotten knocked off. Fun times [Big Grin]
