Instructions

How to Make a Mini Succulent Garden

Step 1

Prep Pot

Fill the pot nearly to the top with cactus mix potting soil—it provides the amount of drainage succulents need. You can find a cactus mix for your succulent garden sold at any nursery or garden center.

Place Rocks

Place an odd number (three or five) fist-size rocks on the soil's surface. Put them close to each other and off-center to suggest natural terrain.

Start Planting

Add a high plant, also off-center, into the container garden. We recommend a dwarf Euphorbia milii cultivar, but there are plenty of other options you can try.

Fill Container

Tuck in small rooted succulents and cuttings so they appear to have grown among the rocks. Vary the plant colors and textures, and arrange them so no soil shows.
Finish Succulent Garden

Add contrasting hues of black lava rock and white pumice to cover remaining bare soil, then add crushed, tumbled glass atop the pumice for sparkle in the topmost layer.

H2: How to Care for Your Mini Succulent Garden

1. Choose the Right Location
   Place your Mini Succulent Garden in an area that receives indirect sunlight. Succulents thrive in bright, but not direct, sunlight. A windowsill or well-lit corner is ideal. Avoid placing them in areas that are too dark or too hot.
   
2. Water Sparingly
   Succulents are drought-tolerant, meaning they don’t need to be watered frequently. Water your garden only when the soil feels dry to the touch. Overwatering can cause root rot, so make sure to let the soil dry out between waterings.
   
3. Ensure Proper Drainage
   If your container doesn’t have drainage holes, be careful not to overwater. Succulents require well-draining soil to prevent water from pooling at the bottom. Make sure the container has proper drainage or use a potting mix designed for succulents.
   
4. Regularly Clean Dust and Debris
   To keep your succulents looking their best, dust them off regularly. Use a soft brush or a cloth to gently remove any dust that accumulates on the leaves.
   
5. Prune When Necessary
   If your succulents start to grow too tall or leggy, you can prune them to encourage new growth. Simply cut off the excess growth and replant it in a new pot if desired.
