FRONT PORCH
Front Porch. Decorating the front porch with rustic style that's not only classic and easy, but it's gorgeous and timeless too. If I can toot my own horn. I have some gorgeous Boston ferns and hellebore's that seriously make this porch shine. I could have cobwebs all over and I don't think I'd notice them if the flowers were in bloom like now.

Just water enough to keep it from dehydrating and let the soil dry out completely before watering again. Bring your succulents inside when outside temps hit 40 degrees. Water sparingly during winter time and check frequently for bugs.
