First proper post, eekk! Well, better get on with it..
I'm not an avid gardener, I mean, I can barely remember to water my cactus. That's right, I have a prickly companion who sits on my window and sheds his spikes all over my window sill. I do love him though - so much so, that I named him Jeremiah. I got him a few weeks back as a present after doing so well in my ballet exam from my mum. And damn, he's cute.
Okay, maybe I sound weird. I just really love my cactus! I've never really been a plant person besides that, but recently the trend of terrariums and succulents has impressed me vastly. And why not? They're cute, small and affordable - so I'm going to round up my favourite succulents from across the web for you. Excited? You should be!
