Kmart Christmas tree hack wows plant-lovers: 'Brilliant!'
A Kmart fan has shared the secret to growing your own Christmas tree at home — and you don’t have to live on a farm or even have a garden.
In a post on Facebook, crafty shopper Jessica, from Victoria, revealed how she used a few key items from the discount store to create a stunning succulent mini ‘tree’.
“Thought I would share my little Christmas tree hack with you all,” she captioned a snap of the festive DIY.
She also shared images of the $10 ‘Light Up Wicker Cone,’ $7.50 ‘Tabletop Planter’ in black and the $5 ‘Light Up Mini Tree Topper’ that were all from Kmart.
“I removed the lights, then filled the cone with sphagnum moss, placed that in the pot and filled it with soil,” she tells Yahoo Lifestyle.
To get the succulents into position she says she simply ‘poked a little hole’ in the moss with her finger then popped the plants in.
Self-professed plant-lover Jessica says she first saw the idea on Pinterest; “I thought ‘I could do that’ but put my own spin on it,” she explains.
