Have you added succulents to your home yet?! These are really beautiful and hardy plants, that are very easy to care for. Here, I will show you how to pot succulents in pretty teacups and teapots, without drainage holes.
Last week I created my DIY Rustic Potting Bench, and I used a pretty teapot with a succulent planted in it, to help decorate my bench.
It ended up being so cute, that I decided that I definitely need more succulents in my life… More succulents planted in teacups!
I headed down to the project pile in the basement, and pulled out some pretty teacups and accessories to go with my teapot…
If you don’t already have teacups and teapots to use, yard-sales and thrift-stores are the perfect place for you to pick some up!
The first step is to add a layer of mulch to the bottom of your teacup.
Since mulch is a super absorbent material, it creates the perfect permeable drainage barrier. It will help to keep your plant roots from soaking in water, and it will also hold extra water that can later be absorbed by your plant, if it is feeling a little on the dry side.
The final step was to place your succulents into your teacups, and fill any remaining space with potting soil.
Since the weather is beautiful out right now, I stuck my potted succulents right in my front DIY Mulch Flower Bed, to give it some extra charm and fun character…
It really couldn’t be any easier, right?!

Have a question about this project?
How long have you had your succulents in the pot at this point? I'm concerned about rottting roots if there's no hole.
