Pennie Collinson Sep 18, 2017I never had success growing succulents, so I will use the fake ones . Really like these!
Diana Wearingon Sep 18, 2017Thanks! I know how that goes, I have a few I’ve kept alive for years but quite a few more that didn’t make more than a couple months…
Colleenon Mar 15, 2018I'm wishing I had saved my trolls. I will have to keep my eyes peeled to see if I can find any. They are just so cute!!! Thanks for sharing!
Have a question about this project?
You did not mention adding any soil. You do need something besides gravels don't you?
Not sure how I missed the dirt…I did add a little dirt on top of the pea gravel and then planted the succulent. Thanks for catching that! I updated the post :-)
Did you drill small holes in their feet for drainage?
No drain holes I put pea gravel in before the dirt for drainage

Use air plants, no soil needed!
What kind of succulents do you use, will any do? Thanks
Any should work, I usually pick smaller varieties so as they grow they don’t become to top heavy.
