A clever mailbox layout trend solves this issue by using , a type of cactus that is extremely forgiving in its maintenance.
The look starts with plain old concrete edging around a mailbox post, creating a miniature for the succulents to be planted in.
However, instead of filling in fully with dirt, homeowners can top the soil with large gravel to fit with the desert aesthetic succulents already bring.
Homeowners can then plant the succulents, which may leave the area looking sparse initially.
This will be fixed in time as the succulents slowly fill in, even if homeowners end up forgetting about them for months at a time.
After about a year, the area should be flush with foliage thanks to the growth of the succulents during that time.
This will create a look that feels intentionally curated and painstakingly nurtured.
In reality, even the least attentive gardeners can achieve this result themselves thanks to how resilient succulents are.
If homeowners still feel the area needs filling out after this year is up, they can use other desert plants like aloe vera which are equally forgiving.
