  • And here's your end result. So easy and so impressive!
  • 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.

  • First, prepare "butterfly food" by mixing nine parts water with one part sugar. Depending on the size of your jar, you'll use either a tablespoon or a teaspoon. 16
  • Let the mixture boil until the sugar is dissolved, and then let it fully cool before putting it in the feeder.
  • Using your nail and hammer, punch a small hole in the lid of the jar. You're going to be cutting your sponge and you want your sponge to fit tightly through the hole, so keep it small. You can always make it bigger as necessary. 10
  • Cut your sponge into strings about one inch wide, and then pull it through the hole so there is about a half-inch of sponge sticking out from the top of the lid.
  • Remember, you want the sponge to stick tightly even when it's wet, so you might need to make it larger than you think. 1
