I'm terrible at gardening, but I think once I get some kind of container garden going, this will be one of the ways I manage it throughout winter. I've been thinking of trying succulents.
The last one seems a bit weird to me. A lot of succulents and air plants grow pretty slowly, which makes them work great for things like this, but a lot of the more common houseplants will actually get quite large in pretty short order, and aren't really suited to things like this (unless you want a few months of cute and then several months of turning-brown-and-dying or a series of replanting evetything). Last year I started growing a bunch of herbs, then realized that every single thing I planted was outgrowing the adorable little pots I had in under two months. Definitely a lesson learnt about plants being living, growing things and not just cute little decorations.
I use vintage ice buckets to hold my already potted plants, since they are already water proof you don't need ugly plastic saucers. Hammered aluminum ones look really nice and you can find them cheap at thrifts. Also, I use a ceramic bit and out holes in interesting mugs, right now I have a bunch of old Tiki mugs with succulents ($1.00 for 4 at a thrift)
