Love munching on eggs?

What if we told you that the trays of these amazing sources of protein make perfect planters!

Eggs make a scrumptious meal in many forms: boiled, fried, or scrambled. Not only that, but their shells can be used as an effective fertilizer. But there's one aspect of egg-shopping most people neglect in gardening - their tray! Here's a smart trick to grow succulents in this unorthodox container!

What is required for the hack?

This egg-tray hack is very simple and doesn't call for much hassle.

Egg Tray: You'll need a sturdy egg tray that hasn't been damaged, bent, or turned soggy. Both cardboard and plastic ones work perfectly.

Succulent-Friendly Potting Mix: Of course, your succulents won't root directly into the tray, hence you will need a suitable substrate that will provide the right nutrition, drainage, and meet the other needs of your plant.

Right Variety of Succulents: Since we are using the egg tray to grow not one but multiple succulents, you will have to choose the right ones. It is necessary that these plants are naturally petite and do not grow fast or require too much space. Living stones, certain echeverias, and haworthias fit well into the criteria.
