Over the past couple of years, cactus and succulents have become a popular staple in home decor and fashion trends. There’s something about actually living in the Southwest and being surrounded by all the 90’s version of Southwest decor for years that would make a person gag at the thought of ever using cactus or Southwest patterns in your decorating ever again. It was bad guys, so bad! Thankfully, I love this go-round with the trend and I’m so happy that it’s much more appealing to the eye and there are so many fun ideas. My favorite part about cacti and succulents? Little to no maintenance, but if the little bit of maintenance that a live version requires is too much for you I’ve rounded up 70 Cactus & Succulent Projects and Ideas that are perfect for you!
