Planting house roots on roof tiles - How to create a special garden decoration
Extremely frugal, true "hunger artists" and satisfied at almost any location, as long as it is only dry and sunny: Hauswurzen (Sempervivum), a very species- and variety-rich family of the genus Dickblattgewächse, are perfect for interesting decoration ideas. The small succulents can be wonderfully placed in a variety of planters: Whether in roof tiles, wicker baskets, large shells or boxes of all kinds thrive the very shallow rooting plant almost everywhere.In this article we would like to introduce you to old roof tiles as planting material.
Prepare for planting
Maybe you are renovating yourself or know someone who re-covers his roof: Old roof tiles provide a wonderful opportunity for individual design ideas. You can use the brick in batches as a bedding border or as a planter, for example, for the frugal house roots. The small succulents do not need much space, and they are completely satisfied with very little soil. Apart from a suitable substrate, you can also use other decorative elements (such as stones, shells ... your imagination knows no bounds!).
Important: Pay attention to good drainage
The roof tile does not have to be particularly large or deep, only a good drainage is important. It is usually recommended to drill drain holes in any planters for house wasches if necessary, but this will be difficult to achieve with roof tiles - in many cases the material is likely to be too brittle. But you can still provide good drainage by using little soil and also to plant many large and small stones not only as a decorative element, but also for improved water drainage.
Plant the house sausages
The planting of the house sausages is quite easy:
During the growing season, you water the roof tiles that are planted about once a week, but only slightly. In the spring, the succulents can be supplied with little fertilizer, otherwise the planted shell remains even during the winter outside.
Tips
In addition to roof tiles, stones are also very suitable for planting with house sausages.
