You've seen them in the coolest shops, on your favorite influencer's Instagram and in well-designed coffee table books. Succulents, usually clustered in a wide, shallow planter. They're natural, masculine and bring a touch of the outside into an interior environment. And honestly, they just look cool. Which is why we're advocating making one for yourself. It's an easy do-it-yourself project. What's more, succulents hold the mantle as the easiest workhorses of the plant world. The ones that you could purposefully neglect and still survive.

All you need is a few of the waxy cactus-like plants, some soil formulated to help promote drainage and a handsome vessel to house it all. You don't even have to trek to a garden center to get the necessary supplies. Just hit up Amazon. Honestly, the e-commerce behemoth now boasts a robust live plant section. Shop it as you would any other Amazon department—browse by category, sort by price and even click that handy blue "Prime" moniker for quick and free shipping. So order away, toss it all together in about 30 minutes and set it on your coffee table. Then sit back and relax, marveling at your mastery of nature and interior design.
