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.
