DIY Boho Décor Upcycling

At Cacti and Chill, we’re all about sustainable style and cozy vibes. Why toss out old jars or bottles when you can turn them into beautiful décor pieces for your plants? These easy hacks will help you create propagation stations, mini planters, and chic accents, all with items you already have at home.

Glass bottle propagation stations

Give your cuttings a stylish home!

• What you need: clean glass bottles (wine, kombucha, or soda), twine, and a wooden plank. Personally, I like to use wine bottles ;)

• How to do it:

  • Wrap twine around the bottle neck for a rustic touch.

  • Hang them on a plank using hooks or macramé knots for a floating propagation station.

• Why we love it: Watching roots grow is pure magic, and it looks amazing in a boho corner.

Candle jar makeover for mini succulent planters

Used your Cacti and Chill glass jar candles? Don’t toss them out, give them new life!

• What you need: Empty jars, baking soda, paint, and small succulents.

• Steps:

  • Freeze jars to pop out leftover wax.

  • Mix baking soda with paint for a textured, matte finish.

  • Add drainage pebbles and plant your succulents.

• Style tip: Earthy tones or soft pastels pair perfectly with boho décor.

Macramé holders for upcycled containers

Turn old jars into hanging art.

• What you need: Macramé cord, beads, and your upcycled jar.

• How to do it:

  • Create a simple macramé net around the jar.

  • Add wooden beads for a natural vibe.

  • Hang near a sunny window for a cozy, plant-filled nook.

DIY terrariums with repurposed glassware

Big candle jars or glass bowls make stunning terrariums.

• What you need: Pebbles, soil, moss, and mini plants.

• Steps:

  • Layer pebbles for drainage, then soil and moss.
