  • Select container(s) made of clear glass. An open container is ideal for succulents. A closed container is better suited for humidity loving plants. 1
  • Next, choose plants keeping in mind the size & shape of your container. Also choose plants that enjoy the same living environments for humidity & light. Slow growers are your best bet for low- maintenance.
  • Clean & dry your container well prior to planting.
  • Add 1-2" of pea gravel for drainage. A good rule of thumb when layering is that the sum of your layers should equal 1/3 the depth of your pot.
  • Next is a layer of charcoal to reduce odors and algea growth. Charcoal can be found at your local nursery or anywhere pet supplies are sold.
  • Add a piece of mesh screen or weed barrier material cut to size on top of the charcoal. The barrier will prevent your soil from seeping down.
  • Your last layer is potting soil.
  • Once the layers are complete, genlty remove your plant from its container & tease away any excess dirt. Add plants starting with the largest, then work smaller ones around it.
  • Lastly, water just enough to moisten the soil well. Your water content should not exceed the depth of the gravel.
  • And here's your end result. So easy and so impressive!
