When it comes to gardening, most of us like plants that look after themselves, but still make our place look beautiful.

If you're nodding along, we have the ultimate indoor planting hack for you.

Doing the rounds on TikTok is a super-easy and effective hack with just three steps.

The genius who thought of this, cwissy_eats, takes a glass candle centrepiece box from Kmart and swaps out candles for tiny white pebbles, filling the bottom layer.

She adds four tiny potted succulents to the pebbled layer, before topping it up with the rest of the pebbles - et voila, you have a chic planter box for your home.

What they are saying

People are amazed by the beautiful mess-free "gardening".

Since the video was posted, nearly 4000 people have liked the idea, with many ready to try it.

"So clever!! I love it," one user wrote.

"This would be beautiful as a centrepiece on an outdoor setting," another added.

"I'm gonna do it ... Thanks for the idea," a third said.

The hack even impressed a professional gardener: "I grow and sell plants ... that is super cool."

"Such a creative and stunning idea," another said.

It turns out you don't need to be a green thumb after all to achieve beautiful results with your indoor plants at home.

How can I achieve this look?

While the hack uses a small glass candle centrepiece box, you can use any other similar-shaped box and upcycle it to fit your succulent hack.

If you're wanting a long planter to fill a rectangular dining table, Amazon's Long Glass Candle Holder Centerpiece Box measures just over a metre long and can also be placed on fireplace mantles and shelves for a beautiful result.

If you're after a more compact, chic look for your bedroom or a smaller space, opt for a rectangular gold framed glass box or if you're wanting an even smaller one for your bathroom, choose an open square design.

You could even upcycle this Amazon card organiser and create a little house for your succulent planter.

This definitely makes you a green thumb now.
