DIY wooden succulent planter steps:

1. Hollow out logs
First of all, we have to choose the logs that are suitable for the succulents in your home and their length. It is best to choose logs with moss and discoloration properties. Next, use a drill to make a hole in the middle of the log and use a chisel to carve the edges.
 
2. Stabilize logs
Find the most stable position for the board and fix the bottom to the board. Then use long screws to attach the circuit board to the log. The point is here, enough space must be left.

3. Cut into the log
Before cutting, we need to roughly mark the opening. Make sure the planter opening depth is 3 inches.
 
4. Add charcoal to the bottom of the pot
First, spread a layer of activated carbon evenly on the bottom of the log flowerpot. Activated carbon helps air filtration and ensures that excess water does not stay in the soil and causes the roots of succulents to rot.
 
5. Grow succulents
After completing the above steps, you can start to prevent succulents from entering. After placing the succulents, we can add the succulent soil mixture to them. And water the succulents when you are done.

The biggest feature of this wooden succulent plant pot is that it can save a lot of money, and it is also a very good decoration. If there are children in the family, this is the best choice to increase the children's hands-on ability!
