The term couch surfing doesn’t do the situation justice (Exhibit A: your toilet paper contribution), but roomies might imply a level of commitment you’re just not ready for.

Your new Living Arrangements are a tad easier to explain: They’re potted succulents.

Green thumb Trey Ellett collects modern planters and scours the state for vintage coffee cans, industrial paint roller pans, and any other unique container into which he can drill a drain hole. He then artfully groups hearty natives like cotyledon, Echeveria elegans, and Sedum rubrotinctum and adds horticultural extras like bark, rocks, driftwood, and pinecones to bring the planters to life.

Send in lieu of cut flowers or make space at home for a pot: They’re great company. All these pretties require are a sunny spot, an occasional trim, and a little water now and then.

Just don’t expect them to chip in for rent.
