Were you not blessed with a green thumb? Need a hand to help with your fall porch decorations? Give visitors a little fright with a plaster cast of a hand planted in potting soil. Group this hand-planted specimen with other finger-like potted plants, like succulents. Hand plants hold up well throughout the year, and will look appropriately creepy come Halloween.

This hand-made creation is from Roger's Gardens in Newport Beach, California.
