The countdown to Thanksgiving is on! Though I'm not hosting a big Thanksgiving dinner this year, I wanted to share an easy Thanksgiving centerpiece idea. This Thanksgiving centerpiece is incredibly easy to make, natural, and will stay fresh for the whole month or longer. You can make the pumpkins now and forget about it, or add some little vases of flowers to the table the day before Thanksgiving. These succulent and air plant pumpkins would also make such a great hostess gift. Not only do they look pretty as part of a Thanksgiving or fall tablescape, these succulent pumpkins are also darling sitting on a front porch. Pumpkins are the perfect organic planter for succulents or air plants.
I first learned about air plants about a year ago and love using them in both inside and outside decor. Succulents are pretty low maintenance, but air plants are even easier to care for. Like their name suggests, they get their water from the air! I spritz my air plants with a mist of water once a week and they have been thriving. The amount of water air plants need will vary depending on your climate. Humid locations will need less water, while dry areas will need more. If the tips get crisp and brown, they need more water.
