1. Select Your Container
- Select a container from our curated collection of high-quality ceramic, hand-made pots. Consider how the container’s style and color complements your chosen succulents.
- Trays will be provided to assist in transportation and creation of your arrangement. Please return the trays once completed (or please ask us on how to make it yours).
2. Prepare Your Container
- To ensure proper plant health, start by placing a layer of decorative gravel or stones at the bottom of your container. This enhances drainage and prevents waterlogging.
- Sprinkle a thin layer of activated charcoal on top of the gravel. This step helps in maintaining fresh soil by preventing odors and mold.
3. Fill with Potting Mix
- Gently fill your container with our premium succulent potting mix. Leave approximately 1 inch of space from the top to accommodate the plants and any decorative elements.
4. Arrange Your Succulents
- Select your succulents from the variety provided. Start by arranging the larger plants in the center of the container and the smaller ones around the edges. This creates a balanced and aesthetically pleasing arrangement.
We recommend 1 larger succulent and 1-2 small or 2-3 small succulents max for the size of our pots.
- Dig small holes in the soil using the trowel/tools provided. Position each succulent in its designated hole, ensuring the roots are well covered with soil. Use tweezers for delicate plants to avoid damage.
5. Secure and Settle
- Lightly press the soil around each plant to secure them in place. Ensure the plants are stable and upright. Add back soil if needed, but be sure not to pack it too tight to allow proper drainage.
6. Add Decorative Elements
- Decorate your arrangement with moss and sand as desired. These elements add a touch of sophistication and personalize your creation.
- Use a small brush to gently remove any soil from the edges of the container, giving it a polished look.
7. Watering
- Lightly water your succulents to help them settle into their new environment. Be cautious not to overwater, as succulents thrive in well-drained conditions.
- We recommend watering your succulents sparingly. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. For best results, water directly into the soil, avoiding the leaves.
8. Care Instructions
- Place your arrangement in a location with bright, indirect sunlight. Succulents flourish in light conditions that mimic their natural habitat.
- Maintain a comfortable temperature, ideally between 60-80°F (15-27°C). Avoid exposing your succulents to extreme cold or heat.
9. Enjoy Your Creation!
- Find a prominent spot for your succulent arrangement where it can be admired. Its unique design will enhance any space with a touch of natural elegance.
- Revel in the beauty of your arrangement and the satisfaction of creating something uniquely yours.
